Hi Philipp. From an aesthetic perspective, the script name may clutter the output. But I think the standardization is valuable because it always makes it clear to the user which script presented the output. This allows you to repeat the scan with just the scripts you want by passing those names to --script. It also allows you to find out more information about the script (supported arguments, etc.) by looking up the name at http://nmap.org/nsedoc/ . While developers were able to do that before by grepping the scripts directory for output fragments and the like, most casual Nmap users don't even know where the scripts directory is. And rummaging around there is a pain even for those who do.
