To be honest, its either because scientific culture or no one working on it.
Check out http://www.embl-heidelberg.de/~uetz/LivingReptiles.html to see the latest Boa classification. By the way, Boa constrictor was named by Linnaeus back in 1758. imperator was named a subspecies in 1803, I dont see any info on whether some one has looked are BCI variation to name them as different subspecies. No one works on them, they go nameless.
Best,
Vinny
