It's not security reasons, it's because PGP keyrings aren't justs keys like
any other format but keys, names, email addresses, trust assertions,
validations, and all sorts of other things, all connected with signatures, and
you can't perform an operation like "write a key" because you need a full-
blown key-management application to manage the keyring.  This is why the
original PGP consisted of two separate applications, pgpo for doing PGP things
and pgpk just for managing keyrings.
