True on Canal Street:

A Worth Street crosstown and tunnel to Brooklyn would have been a valid reason to have the 8th Avenue line be an express stop at Canal Street (main exit actually at Walker Street).

As for Queens Boulevard, they likely were not sure the connection to the former LIRR line (or any other connections) would ever be built, which would likely explain that part of why 63rd Drive was never made into an express stop (or wasn't thought to be one when the line was originally built).
