Turn based games are relatively niche. Players would rather play an unresponsive FPS than switch to turn based games.

I could imagine a Counter Strike RTS, Also one of the best selling games, Pokemon, is a turn-based game.

Genres are design problems rather than descriptions

No one thinks RuneScape is a "topdown RPG", rather than a "fantasy game with a lot of freedom and many things to do" The genre can be made secondary to the design, so I don't doubt game designers can make turn-based games widely appealing
