I actually think the reason for that is economic and it does work IRL. What you think of as "power users" actually requires a lot of training, it's expensive to produce them. Their skill set still isn't enough to offload real development tasks on them, so whatever they do is still completely dependent on having a team of engineers to support them. If you're going to be paying the engineers anyway, it's cheaper to just make something that requires less training for the users up front.
