On windows, running ssh-keygen is not trivial. It would be easier to setup if tahoe could generate its own keys for SFTP.

I ran into this issue because I tried to use keys that I generated from Putty, but tahoe wouldn't start up using them. Eventually I used the ssh-keygen bundled with Git Bash, but I wouldn't expect a regular user to have that installed.

I'm not sure I want us to commit to the cryptography library dependencies that this would require. In particular, I'd hate to get up to the point of being able to drop a dependency, for example on RSA, only to find that we need it just to generate ssh keys.
