Many SSH programs only ask the user to provide the location of their private keyfile to do public-key authentication. Although, both keys are required to authenticate, the public-key can be derived from the private-key. Allowing a null value for this parameter means programs based on libssh2 only need to ask the user for one key; something they have probably grown used to.
