I think it all boils down to the original narrative following the trope of The Chosen One. That's not really conducive to RP and is kinda unrelatable. Even in City of Heroes, there were just...lots of regular conversations and interactions. People who were capable of manifesting fire or running through walls or were a mutant of some kind were just standing around Pocket D, enjoying drinks and company and maybe trying to find a snuggle.
Personally, I think there's nothing wrong with some level of aetheric manipulation, especially depending on some classes, mages being the obvious prime example. But there's also a lot of neat adaptations to the pyrokinetic powers we display in combat being listed here.
Not to infer that those who actually use Circle of Scorn as displayed are any less imaginative, of course...but one has to marvel at the cleverness of some folks ability to make the superhuman just normal.
