These functions are also interactive, where it is far more natural to
want to rename/delete/copy a file, than ... a file
renamed/deleted/copied.
expand-file-name -> file-expand-name

You're expanding a file name, so the name seems to fit the task.

But wouldn't that be an excellent reason to have an alias?
