The reason Diablo3 doesn't have SP is because WoW didn't have SP.
It's quite obvious that D3 is a rush job, probably restarted from scratch sometime in 2008, using a branch of WoW codebase.
They made it just enough to appear like a competent game, but unfortunately it inherited a number of WoW-isms (hearthstone, auction house, visuals, skills, retarded anachronisms like lasers-and-chainguns-by-any-other-name).
But, the most fatal flaw they inherited from WoW is the mentality. WoW has been bludgeoned like an abused housewife ever since Bobby Kotick took charge - they completely redid the skill system, changed a bunch of requirements, a ton of under-the-hood shit, basically making it into a different game.
You see, the problem with Diablo3 is not that it's "beta". The problem is that Blizzard will treat it like an MMO, and MMOs are a beta that never ends.
All those server-end balance tweaks? They will never end. The game will keep fluctuating. Every day you run it, prepare to be caught by surprise by some nerf that you neglected reading in a Blizzard's latest release notes.
