The filled-in dots are less for the end stations and more for the mid-line stations where trains frequently turn around, such as Silver Spring, Grosvenor, etc.

It helps people identify which names on the trains they should be looking for to get their directionality.

I've seen tourists trying to get to the zoo who have been on a red line platform, knowing that they need a train to Shady Grove, but letting a train to Grosvenor pass by because they weren't sure about that terminal destination.
