The whole business case for the iPad falls apart the minute it can install and run arbitrary code. At that point, the iPad shifts from being a large form-factor iPhone to being a multi-modal Macbook. Which is to say, it goes from a device that compliments an existing device to one that replaces and existing, more expensive device.
The reason professionals use Macbooks is because users still need to install and run software that's not sanctioned by Apple. And users are willing to pay a decently large premium to do so.
I'm sure Apple would love to lock down Macbooks the same way they did for iDevices, but if they do that, they would end up killing the Macbook market overnight.
