I just wondered why some put it and others dont? Like it would say "bachelors of arts" only and not the subject you studied. Or do most not put it?

most don't. I think a few have started to, but traditionally for hundreds of years, the diploma only says bachelor's of ______. Your transcript is your record of what courses you took, your major/minor/concentration/etc.

The diploma is a ceremonial document. I would guess it's a lot easier and cheaper if there are only a few variations on how they are printed.
NanoDegree: Intro to Self-Driving Cars (2019)
Coursera: Stanford Machine Learning (2019)
TESU: BA in Comp Sci (2016)
TECEP:Env Ethics (2015); TESU PLA:Software Eng, Computer Arch, C++, Advanced C++, Data Struct (2015); TESU Courses:Capstone, Database Mngmnt Sys, Op Sys, Artificial Intel, Discrete Math, Intro to Portfolio Dev, Intro PLA (2014-16); DSST:Anthro, Pers Fin, Astronomy (2014); CLEP:Intro to Soc (2014); Saylor.org:Intro to Computers (2014); CC: 69 units (1980-88)

It's similar to graduating from high school - the diploma is generic, the transcript is what's used to show all the courses you took. Same in College.
