Because the same document would display different things depending on
system configuration. We store 'shortcut:font-bold' in this inset, and
it will display C-B if a user uses cua.bind, and F5 for my bind file.

No. It will stay there to display the 'current' shortcut bindings. Of
course one can look up a shortcut in the upcoming shortcut dialog, but
a help document is nevertheless useful, because it can be printed out
in a nice form.

It is clearly useful in Shortcuts.lyx and LaTeXConfig.lyx, whose
contents depend on system configuration.  Although other documents
such as the user's guide would better be the same, it is difficult to
talk about shortcuts, menu items because they are user-configurable.
(Pressing C-B following the document might not do anything). Also, the
document might be outdated because of ui or other changes. For
example, Tool->Reconfigure might not be there is a user uses another
UI file, or we decide to move it to Edit->Reconfigure. In this case,
something like 'menu:reconfigure' may be useful.

Cheers,
