There's a number of users who can really make great use of the power user tools, but adding multiple UI options can greatly increase work, because a fully modal workflow might need a completely different frontend, and some apps are meant for the mass market.

Degrading the experience for the majority just to make things better for the power users doesn't seem like it's always the best plan unless you're specifically targeting power users.

In the extreme case, UI for power users can result in production databases being destroyed, or someone getting served food allergens because the menu system made it easy to assign wrong items to wrong customers, or someone's entire family photo collection getting deleted by a single command.
