There is a very good reason why applications shouldn't be able to add certificates to the system keystore, and that's security.
If an application wants a user to trust a certificate for the actions the application it's performing then that is decision made by the user in the context of that application. The application should not add that certificate to the system keystore because that would mean the the certificate becomes trusted in all applications, which is not what the user agreed to. Drawing a parallel with the desktop world; If I trust an SSL cert in FireFox that does not (and should not) make it a trusted certificate in Thunderbird. As a developer and a user I see it as a good thing that Android doesn't let applications do this, and I would be against any change to this policy just to make developers lives a bit easier.
