One word: expensive.
Refreshable Braille displays do exist, and even the cheapest functional
ones make the current cost of the Neo look like pocket change.
Incorporating this sort of technology into the Neo would not only be
expensive, but the mechanics of these things require a lot of
maintenance, not a fun thing to have in a phone.
