Why? We cannot answer "why" questions. That was Apple's decision, and this is a user to user forum with no insight into Apple's thought process, but yes, an Apple Watch can only be paired and set up with an iPhone, not an iPad.
You can send Apple feedback at Feedback - Watch - Apple and let them know you would like to see that option, but this has not been an option since the Apple Watch was released 11 and a half years ago.

Assuming you mean pairing rather than syncing, no it doesn’t pair with an iPad or any other device than an iPhone.
