Quantum physics doesn't use normalization much and these formulas work better without normalization. Normalization can be provided by the Bayes formula, so postulating it is redundant. Also I heard QFT has some problem with global normalization, because everything must be local there, so normalization is replaced by Stokes' formula: the flux of state norm through closed spacetime surface is zero, i.e. the norm only conserves locally. And the evolution formula U(t)|0,0> = |1,t> + |2,t> can be seen as local conservation of the norm.
