why not just expose .head(), .tail(), .iloc[...] ?

This would have to be a separate Styler implementation of the above. The point is to be able to apply the style functions to the table in entirety but just display certain rows. I.e. highlighting a max in a full-column, yet the section displayed might not contain that max. If you subselect prior to the styling application it loses its purpose in most cases.

Hi @attack68 , it seems that the "pandas-dev.pandas" build has failed. (conflicts in a branch). So this issue is still open.

Closing this, I have a different idea for docs instead which does not include new methods

What are your ideas? Where can they be found in the docs?

It's frustrating that max_rows can not be applied to a stylized dataframe as discussed in #42533
