Because…
1: Steve Jobs is a control freak.
2: Flash is a buggy, insecure piece of crap.
3: Adobe couldn't code a decent version of Flash on non-Windows platforms if their lives depended on it.
As for the no YouTube problem, they're beta-testing an HTML5/h.264 version at the moment, which works fine. That, plus the YouTube app that comes as standard on every iPhone and iPod Touch and iPad.

YouTube
The YouTube app organises videos so they’re really easy to see and navigate. To watch one, you just tap it. When you’re watching in landscape, the video will automatically play in full screen. And with its high-resolution display, the latest YouTube HD videos will look amazing on iPad.
