It's unnecessary for today's new sets. These three sets do not fall into the "sometimes" category.

When the name parameter is blank, the template uses the  for the title of the infobox. If the pagename is identical to the name of the set (that is, doesn't have "(set)" at the end of the pagename), then the name parameter is unnecessary. The template documentation shows that the name parameter should be left blank unless the page name is different from the set name.

The idea is, editors can't screw up what they don't type. The more we have the template do, the less opportunity there is for human error. You're a good editor, so I'm not really concerned about you. I'm concerned about plenty of others, though. The best thing we can do is to create consistent examples for less-experienced editors to follow. That is the biggest reason why the name parameter is unnecessary unless "(set)" is part of the pagename. :-)
