Most hotels that I've been to that don't have toothpaste in the rooms do have them available at the front desk upon request (at no cost.) It's a cost saving measure, and I assume most people travel with their own toothpaste (so much preference, is small and doesn't flag TSA search.) If someone stays one night, even if they don't use the toothpaste, you still have to replace the tube. Makes more sense to keep a small supply at the front desk/back-room.
