Mesh vertex creation mechanisms are in abundance; just not labeled as such. They come part-and-parcel with duplication (Shift-D), extrusion(E) and subdivision. Some single vertex creation steps I commonly use:

In mesh edit mode - select any existing vertex reasonably close to where the new vertex should be.
2a. Shift-D creates a new - wholly disconnected - vertex. Implicitly, G (grab) has been invoked. Move the wholly disconnected vertex to someplace useful.
2b. E extrudes a new vertex from the selected existing vertex; the two vertices are connected by an edge. Again, G has been implicitly invoked to move the new vertex to someplace useful.
2c. With a pair of selected vertices connected by an edge, right-mouse button menu brings up the subdivision menu. Subdivide once to get a new vertex between the two selected vertices, midway on the connecting edge.

With these existing methods, I surmise that a need for an explicit "Add vertex here" was never felt, but 2a is close to that in practice. Hope this helps.
