Not to flog the already dead horse, but the fact that you can walk into the local hobby shop and buy a turnout in HO, but few of us are lucky enough to be able to buy ANYTHING in S from our local shop is the real issue. I'm not sure the powered turnout itself is a big issue. How many layouts do you see in any hobby publication using "snap track" components?
We can buy Shinohara turnouts from 'S'cenery Unlimited (but only No. 6, IIRC) and Tomalco has a nice line with laser cut instead of cast plastic ties. It is still a far cry from the avialability of HO track products.
