1st and most common reason I read is ; packaging.  Have you looked under the hood of a car lately,  thumb down thumb down.  Much less plumbing. 

The most efficient ones use a 48v elect system, and that's something that US cars are not into yet.

the only upside i can see is size and cost. i , personally, believe there are farm more con's than pro's but i am simply saying i can see it's use on mass production cars as a limited pcm controlled part like drive by wire. one more thing to take control of from the driver!!   an electric turbo, at this point, won't do what conventional turbo's can imo.   on  a rail only wanting 6 psi i would think this could work. i'm not sure it would need an innercooler either since it is sending hear from the turbine into the intake. compressing the air will raise the temp a bit. now with the electric motor not liking a lot of heat i don't know how long before it would shut itself down or thermal shut down from sitting at 6 pis for long bursts on hot days on the sand??!!  but size, weight and cost could be a deciding factor to that.

i really am not sure the amp draw of the motor wouldn't over power a sport bikes electrical system.
