Because they are not hard drives. They are Flash memory. Flash cost a whole lot more than a HDD does but they are a whole lot faster too.
Besides, why incude a big HDD when most gamers are going to replace it was something bigger anyway? I don't know many PS3 owners that stuck with the included HDD.

Take a look at the first few minutes of this video. That might move it beyond just a gimmick for you.

Keep in mind that most games so far are rush jobs trying hard just to make it in the launch window. Give them the time to actually do what they want without a constrictive deadline and you might see a lot more innovative uses.
Uses it as a real shield in some of the NintendoLand stuff is pretty damn cool too.
