All engineering at sea costs more. Seabed anchoring is a thing, and a higher degree of wind offshore is a thing, but if you do the linear optimisation of the different cost benefit lines I suspect scaling up traditional fan style 3 blades just wins.

It's a "perfect is the enemy of good enough" thing. Better designs along one axis with a multi axis problem won't be best overall.
