Because the areas you call crippling are not in places that are relevant to me, and it (incl. the OS, UI and "fit" within our gadget-environment, and overall consistency there) works for me. What works and doesn't work for me drives my purchasing decisions, rather than what works and doesn't work for others. The iPad thus far, and like my iPhone, pleases me in many practical, technical, aesthetic and emotional ways. I find these things a nice "fit" within my life. That is sufficient.
Cheers,
