Then maybe a consensus developed among the Mathematica designers that it's a bad thing to make it easy to suppress In[] and Out[] labels. My observation of my own work and that of my students is that it is indeed often essential to see those In[] and Out[] labels in order to know the order in which input cells have been evaluated -- and indeed from one session to the next in the same notebook whether a cell has been newly evaluated at the current session.
