Oh, they did.  I have some.  Commercial disks.  Clearly marked Single Sided.

I'm holding a Memorex 5.25" diskette right now that is labeled:

Memorex
1S/2D  Flexible Disk
Single Sided
Double Density

Now, that said, looking at this particular disk, it's "shiny" on both sides,
meaning that it's a double sided disk.

I also found a Goldstar disk.  Same thing.  5.25" Single Sided, Double Density.
But this one has a side that is much duller than the other.
