  The regular task manager is often redundant in the information it gives - the icon alone is often enough to tell what type of task is being performed. If I see an icon for an IDE, that is going to tell me that I've been doing some programming with that application. The only applications that a name would 
   have a large benefit in distinguishing between current tasks would be the web browser and the terminal emulator. The name also often describes what can be seen within a few seconds of pulling up the window or looking at the preview in some cases.
  
  It's also a stylistic thing, as not displaying window name/application name is "modern".
