Many, most all pros HAVE PMs. But who uses them to train? Who has published that they look at that power number to determin how hard to go. You will read some that were trying for 500W intervals, but they did not feel so good, so dialed it down and only did 450W that day. That is training to RPE - not power. Race to power and you are not paying attention to the race.
