I randomly found 2 good examples: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/634592359 and https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/478481882 which are both new housing estates....which would fit why a road with a lot of houses is unnamed. They may have been mapped prior to them receiving official road names.
The case that Greg already noted, mobile home parks, e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/230945815 may have road names but are sometimes private property and not accessible to mappers. Perhaps there is extra processing that could classify them?
