It's one of the things that annoys me about portafilters these days - I tend to only have single espressos, but now I'm being FORCED (forced I tell you - goddamnit) to have a double or two singles because I can't get a single out of the double spout, without holding the cup up, and then I can't watch, so where's the fun?
A naked portafilter means you can keep an eye on how the shot's developing, but also because it should end up in a single stream, you can get a single shot in the one cup.
