Sure, there is the security reason but that could easily be stopped by simply not displaying any information at certain coordinates. Just try to find a satellite map of Cheyenne Mountain (NORAD for those who don't know). And there are privacy issues. But there is also the technical issue of not flying millions of satellites.
Actually, I take that back. You actually can see Cheyenne Mountain on maps.google. You can even get a close up of the tunnel and the parking lot where they wait for the shuttle. Wow, that must have been declassified recently because it didn't use to be the case.
