Because the 100 foot wide tube would've been used for a scrapped three-track plan for 72nd St. It wasn't intended to cover the entirety of the line. A four track station is far too large for a mere 70 foot wide tube.

See this PDF for more information. FWIW, the 100' tube also probably wouldn't have been able to accommodate a two platform, four track station with sufficiently wide platforms.
