The problem is not just the decompresser size itself, but how much memory it uses. LZO is pretty special (though not unique) in that its requisites in that area are very low; as low as just the source and destination buffers. With LZMA (and other algorithms) we would need intermediate buffers and other memory-consuming things like dictionaries and such. I'm neither a compression expert nor an assembly guru, but the tradeoff might not be up to the task.
