Because the private key should be _private_ and not be transferred
around the network.

If you need to be able to login from host2 to host1, you need to
generate a ssh keypair on host2, (either using the user module or
command module), fetch the contents of the public key, and use the
authorized_key module to put the public key into the authorized_keys
file for the user.

That one is a bug in the docs, it's fixed in the devel docs:

[ansible-project] user_module and ssh key

[Alexander B.]

Hello. 
There are two hosts. On first I create a user and generate SSH keys. Now I 
need to transfer private key to second host to connect using it to first 
host without creating a user on second. I haven't found an output of 
parameter ssh_key as analogg to ssh_public_key in module user. In other 
modules related to SSH there is only a possibility to see contents of 
public key. What is the reason for this restriction?

The documentation 
 is 
written about the path to the ssh public key. in the example of a private 
key.

ssh_key_file  Path to generated SSH public key file. *Sample*: 
/home/asmith/.ssh/id_rsa
