They should care because it's clear from media reports, forum post etc. that a sizeable number of people want it supported.
They should care because they want to tout the iPad as the best web browsing experience, but many sites won't display properly due to the lack of Flash and Java etc.
They're by no means required to support it. It's their device and if they don't want to support it that's fine. And people are thus free to wait on something else that supports it.
I just wish competitors would hurry up and get tablets out. And they get their head out of their ass design wise and make something that matches the iPad's form factor, battery life etc. while being more open, more powerful and catering more toward power users and work-related functions rather than just media consumption.
