Nomenclature of Acetone
The IUPAC Blue Book defines rules where locants can be ommitted in IUPAC preferred names.

Unlike terminal locants in names for aldehydes that are omitted, there is no rule for homogeneous chains with three or more identical atoms that would allow for the ommission of the locant $2$ in propan-2-one.

This leads to the result that propanal is a IUPAC preferred name while propanone isn't.
