I used to like using the single quotes because the column names then stood out in a different color in the editor. But you’re right, in this case it can be confusing for someone that doesn’t clearly understand that the outer select in your example results in selecting the literal string values for each row in the derived table. I’ll stay away from the single quotes henceforth!
