Because it's a media consumption device and not meant for much productivity use, content creation etc. They designed it to be a slick device to watch videos, read books, magazines, comics etc., play games, surf the net, check e-mail etc. Not to do much in the way of doing any work with documents beyond reading them.
The Que was hyped as being a reader for the business crowd, so having limited writing support on it seems like a glaring omission. Where as the iPad just isn't aimed or marketed at that crowd. The TV commercial doesn't show any real hints of doing "work" on the iPad for instance.
