Agreed, but life is more complicated. Look, e.g., at Brahms 1st
symphony, in c minor: the first 2 horns are in C, the other two in
e minor
(and Brahms MEANT them to be played on DIFFERENT instruments, not 4
identical horns transposed differently! Orchestras bent on authentic
realisations spent a lot of money buying the extra instruments
necessary, and, wow: listen to the difference it makes!)
, but nevertheless all 4 are denoted WITHOUT any key signature!
