Looks to be almost 100% against so far. In Mindheim's book, he recommends using locks on the fascia for turnouts, and even at locations with gates over the tracks.
I'm thinking one of the benefits may be that it would encourage the crews to align the turnouts back to the main when leaving industry areas so that through trains don't get surprised with turnouts thrown the wrong way.
