I don't understand this, just because it's turn based it doesn't mean you can't squeeze more juice out of your CPU if you want to have all kinds of good graphics, fancy animations, fancy complex environments (lots of moving pieces, etc), physics simulation, etc.

Turn based is just one style of play but there's plenty of turn (or pseudo-turn) based games (like JRPGs) which struggle with platform limitations. One could even argue that games like Final Fantasy XIV are turn based.
