Hi! My first guess: a normal function evaluates all its arguments. ns uses (:require ....) (:use.. ) (:import ..) that should be not evaluated at ns apply. The alternative is to make ns an special form, but macro should be more flexible.
Instead, in-ns is simpler, and it can be implemented as a normal function.
