Well that´s just an usual technical specification.
See it that way, if you have a Lipo what is just rated as 2S any informed guy will know that´s a 7.4V Lipo. But this informed guy also knows there are Lipo packs using just one or maybe more cells in parallel but as there is just 2S spec he won´t know anything more on this.
If there is the 2S1P this then means there are just 2 cells in series connected but no additional cells in parallel. Of course you also could say 2S0P with 0P meaning no additional cells, but this looks a little weird in compare to 2S1P from my view.
