Probably for the things it is meant to support...

Firewire is preferable for tape-driven video cameras (not an input
device for the iPad because it's not meant for editing video), for
external hard-drives (also not an iPad accessory), and external DVD
burners (also not an iPad need).

Why include another port at an additional cost in space and power
consumption that won't be useful?

Not even for something "magical" and "revolutionary"? The only thing we see
are the features it lacks, and nothing "revolutionary". And it has a 25 watt
hour battery!
