Just as deciding what roads to show on a map, deciding what labels to place and where on a map is a hard problem. There may not be sufficient room for it in the location where you want to place it. If so, do you move it ‘a bit’, maybe also move another label, which means having to move another, etc. or do you leave it out? Worcester likely is too close to Boston to have room for it at the chosen level of detail. For what it’s worth, when I zoom in on Massachusetts in Apple Maps (which seems to have finer grained zoom levels than OpenStreetMap.org or maps.Google.com), the order in which cities appear is - Boston - Springfield - New Bedford - Worcester
