Because SUSE don't do that.
FTP has the advantage that you only have to download the bits you need - with
an ISO you have to download everything, whether you want it or not. However,
FTP also means you have to have net access on the machine you want to install
on. It's swings and roundabouts, and no doubt the decision is made on
commercial grounds (SUSE would rather you bought the CDs :-)
