Not every city needs a ring line, or has a geographical shape where it would be
practical.
Manhattan is a long rectangle, whilst Berlin has a more rounded shape.
Its faster to cross the small width of the rectangle than to go all the way around.

The MTA still has a gap in the funding for the 2020-2024 capital plan due to Andrew Cuomo's raiding and Kathy Hochul's incompetence, so I wouldn't expect much from the 2025-2029 capital program! It is $48 billion short of maintaining existing levels of service, "with a focus on areas in need of urgent investment".
