If I had to guess I'd say that the balcony doesn't effectively exist as more than a couple polygons with some bump mapping and texturing. It was something the artists created to look nice on the outside then realized it would be odd to not have a corresponding door on the inside and painted on onto the wall. Creating an actual balcony would require rebuilding the front wall of all the large houses which isn't a small undertaking and probably a low priority in their grand plan for development.

Regardless of why though, I agree it would be nice. If it happens this expansion I would expect it to happen with shirogane, otherwise keep hoping for 5.0+.
