I guess this is the same reason why in programming modes like Emacs
Lisp mode single-quotes are not highlighted while double-quotes are.

With the same reason to be similar to quotes in programming modes
I suggest to inherit new Info faces from corresponding standard faces
by default:

(defface info-quoted-name               ; For `...'
  '((t (:inherit font-lock-constant-face)))
  "Face used for quoted names (`...') in `info'."
  :group 'info)

(defface info-string                    ; For "..."
  '((t (:inherit font-lock-string-face)))
  "Face used for strings (\"...\") in `info'."
  :group 'info)
