Am I missing something? Why is this made by Asus and not Motorola Mobility?

  Google has stated very often and very clearly that they're trying to maintain a separation between them and Motorola. They don't want owning Motorola to mess up their relationships with other hardware companies.

  The acquisition closed a little over a month ago; communication during a buyout before it's approved is seriously restricted. A month isn't anywhere near enough time to get a product from scratch to market. Besides the logistical issues, Google's stated that Motorola doesn't get special treatment, so going by their word, Motorola has to compete for Nexus bids just like everyone else.

  Motorola Mobility will never build a Nexus device. The other Android manufacturers (particularly Samsung) need to be reassured that Google will not simply lock them out of Android's future by leveraging its own hardware division.
