The key difference is that ignoring the other mode is not so easy.

Decided to use degrees once?
Lent the calculator to a friend?
Pressed a random button as you picked it up?

Use it again next week - your calculation is wrong.
Debug it - your SIN is wrong.
Oh yes, I need to remember to keep resetting the calculator.
Where's the mode switch I hardly ever use?

Much easier to call SINR or SIND assuming you have a programmable or they are both predefined and know they will both work, without needing any mode. Except you then need 3 extra keys on the keypad.
