Why is it that monks have no favored tradskill??

Why not clerics, why not paladins?
Its likely because of balance concerns, Monks are already overly abused multi class, as well as being one of the few classes that does well pure (all from a "power gaming." They don't need a crafting skill advantage as well. Maybe the devs have other reasons, but it seems to me that crafting was designed to block power gaming builds for the most part from getting master artisain, then again, maybe that's just coincidence.

I think you're confusing the wine-making monks with the fighting monks in D&D. The ones we have must concentrate on their studies and perfecting their body and mind and whatnot. My opinion is that monks have no time at all for crafting.
