Why aren't turbos/turbines controllable pitch?

I am wondering why turbines are not implemented with controllable pitch blades (on the rotor system)? I assume the reason is that the coupling between the stator and rotor systems posed by typical controllable pitch mechanisms poses an unacceptable frictional loss for such a high speed/ low torque application.
