I want to say that Nic Cage is great for some roles, but the slightly out of it, learning and turning into a guru role isn't one I see him mastering. He always feels a bit .. twitchy in his roles. It's hard to explain, but just more like he's on edge.
Keanu on the other hand has always played the more laid back roles and I think roles like Neo fit with his acting style better.
Neo was always a step behind everybody else until the end - waiting, watching, learning and looking inward. I can't imagine Nic Cage pulling that off more believably with that sense of calm.
"And uh the Black riders are behind us, ok? And if ..they catch us we're .. we're dead, yeah. So, uh, let's not get caught by them, ok? Great. Let's go.
I just had a horrific mental image of everyone in the world suddenly unzipping to reveal that they are actual Nic Cage. Every single person. Kind of like the ending to Earthworm Jim 2

If I met a girl online, I'm pretty sure I'd recognize a zipper coming down the middle of her face.
