I'll bet that your inference is wrong.  I used to live at the bottom
of the Smith-9th station in Brooklyn, and I have been to 168th more
that once.

I think glaring exceptions to the rule could be found just about
anywhere.  Out of the 400+ stations in the NYCTA, the vast majority
are built fairly close to street level.

Some stations on the Lex line are deeper also.  Court street in
Brooklyn before it goes under the River, etc.
