That it is not included in MiKTeX, also not via the fragments or fixltx2e package. Therefore all LyX
on Windows would be forced to install the file manually which is not acceptable.
I provide LyX for Windows as one-click instalation. So you start the installer and at the end of the
installation process, you have a full-equipped LyX, LaTeX environment and all necessary third-party
programs. All LaTeX-packages needed by LyX are automatically installed when LyX is started the first
time. This mechanism only works for packages available in MiKTeX.
I can ask the MiKTeX maintainer to include subfigure but I can understand if he
denies this.
With your current implementation I'm forced to ship the subfigure.sty with the installer and install
it using installer code. This is a lot of extra work and becomes complicated for fresh installation
(where MiKTeX is installed together with LyX). That's why I shout.

In principle yes. As these lines are also used by other packages like KOMA-script and have not been
touched at CTAN for 11 years we can assume them being stable to insert them directly via LyX.
