To add to what Peter said, this mailing list's archives have extensive
discussion on why we don't do this and why we have done it for mobile devices
(only PocketSword and AndBible, and specific to them only).
Also, the transfer time for a lucene index exceeds the time of a recent
computer to build them, e.g. my laptop. As a Bible Desktop user, I'd really
rather not transfer an index that is unusable by Bible Desktop.
