They've addressed this repeatedly, many of the platforms are too old to handle the weight of all that steel and glass without potentially degrading and posing a hazard
They'd need to shut down stations to completely rebuild the platforms to do this safely at many stations
I’m sorry if the London Underground can manage it your subway systems can also manage it

The tube also doesn’t have this. The new stations do but the majority of them don’t have them.
Note that Tokyo actually has two subway networks; one with 179 stations, the other with 106 stations. This puts the city total into 7th instead of 10th place.
Wouldn't this mean they'd have more reudancy, so you can shut down stations to do extrnsive modernization without seriously harming transit?
We need more stations
Honestly there should be 2-3 per block in every borough of NYC
