If it's not part of the OS, that means no api controls for app developers to use to take advantage of it with 3rd party apps. So crippling it with the iPhone OS had the added benefit of making USB impossible to use with anything.

Which comes back to the bigger mistake of not putting OS X on the damn thing.
I kind of don't buy that argument considering they are selling USB adapters (the iPad Camera Connection Kit) which can transfer photos\videos via USB\SD.

It seems to me they want you to buy extra accessories to make more money.
