Why is there not errata pages for the Adventure Path books?
I can't believe that no other Pathfinder players want this?

Nope. They're all perfect. Every one. :-P
Why is there not errata pages for the Adventure Path books?
AFAIK, because they're not reprinted.
Most answers can be found in the "XX (GM Reference)" threads though.

Under each of the AP subfora, there will be 6 threads, each named after each book of the AP + "(GM Reference)," for instance, under Rise of the Runelords, you should find "Burnt Offerings (GM Reference)." In these threads are all the questions GMs have come up with while running these modules, with staff and community responses. They are invaluable when running an AP.

We do one Adventure Path volume a month. We're up to editing #52 right now. The rate at which we put these out makes maintaining an official errata file for each more or less impossible.
And on top of that... I don't think they NEED errata. The messageboards themselves work perfectly well for the purpose of folks asking questions and other folks or us here at Paizo answering them.
With a rulebook, errata is more important since you're, in theory, referencing that over and over and over, and it's the actual machine on which you build adventures. The rulebooks, in other words, are the cameras and lights and machinery you use to film a movie (if we were talking about movies, not RPGs). The adventures, on the other hand, are the movies themselves.
If your camera's broken, you should fix it and update it so it doesn't put errors into every other movie you make.
But when you make one movie a month, if you make an error somewhere in that movie, that's a lot less dire a situation, and usually letting a boom mike show or having a special effect that's a bit dodgy or having a continuity error won't ruin the entire movie—especially if you did the job right and made a movie that folks really like.
OKAY: Tortured metaphor over.
The feedback threads for our adventure paths do the job of answering questions far more efficiently than an official errata for each volume could ever do.
