Looking at this notebook: https://helenalc.github.io/SpatialData.demo/code/csama.html (CC @HelenaLC), it looks like that when we write shapes, the name of an index is lost. Probably this happens also for points.

I think the issue in R is that we don't have a concept of .index – the closest would be a named vector, or array with dim. names; but, an sf table like that can't have row names afaik. So there should be a column with that name... which was usually the case; just not these data.
Therefore it's important to preserve the index name.
