[ENH]: data kwarg support for mplot3d #20912
Description
Problem
3d axes don't support the data kwarg:
gcf().add_subplot(projection="3d").scatter("a", "b", "c", data={"a": [0], "b": [1], "c": [2]})
results in
ValueError: could not convert string to float: 'a'
Proposed solution
I think it's "mostly" a matter of adding a bunch of @_preprocess_data decorators to 3D plotting methods similarly to what's done for 2D plots, hence tagging as good-first-issue (though you'll need to understand a bit about the Matplotlib internals).

@akshat-max the contributing guide is at https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/devel/index.html. To get familiar w/ the data kwarg, I'd suggest tracing through a couple of the plotting methods that take it as input - you can find em in https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/lib/matplotlib/axes/_axes.py#L1075
