Terrapin actually gave you the basic answer-people are expected to know where they are going and adding/changing signs costs money.

The only ORIGINAL station naming distinction that I can think of that dates from the original days of the subways is 23rd Street - Ely Avenue in Queens. According to different sources, that station was given two names for two reasons:

1) To differentiate it from the 23rd Street station on the 6th Avenue IND; and/or

2) To avoid confusion for people who still knew 23rd Street in Queens by its original name, Ely Avenue.
