They could charge the fare to ignore the fact you've gone through Kennington if they so wished. And Shoreditch High Street was placed in Zone 1 specifically so they could charge extra, otherwise they would have placed it in Zone 2This is not the same thing at all. There is only one way to get from Nine Elms to north of Kennington so that is how they would charge it. If they could ignore the fact that you've gone through a station then they would do it for Shoreditch High Street.
Changing Kennington to a joint Zone 1/2 station is to prevent any confusion, and to prevent people winging about the Shoreditch scenario!
