The answer I have heard from Cisco is that doing so would place a
runtime dependancy on the storage. 
It is reasonably safe to erase the nvram and format the flash on a
running box. If your authorised keys file was on the flash or nvram then
it failing would lock you out of the device.

You could put the keys into the config but the config could get messy.
