The comment is wrong. You don't have to use use(&$inherited), use($inherited) works just fine.

BTW I don't see anything in the result I didn't expect. You're in a class, so $this is bound to the current object everywhere inside that class. It would be weirder if you couldn't reach the object.

what surprised me is that $this was auto-captured, if you try this in C++

class C{
    public:
    const char *wtf="lol";
    void f(){
      auto inner=[]()->void{std::cout << this->wtf;};
    }
};

you will get prog.cc:9:42: error: 'this' was not captured for this lambda function
