FWIW, I have found that turbulence comes up as a discussion item much more frequently in N. American skies than, for example, in European ones.
It might be that the meteo people in the U.S. are more vocal and more focussed about tracking/ forecasting/reporting turbulence than their counterparts in Europe and elsewhere. Likely they have more tools for observing than many places, and a yearning to make some good use of all the data that comes from their observations.
Any negative forecast analysis inevitably filters up thru the system, even when turbulence is not a go/nogo criterion. By definition, more or less, negative forecast info must be propogated, once it is in the pipe.
It could be a cultural difference, perhaps, or just some folks out in the windy mountain-stippled reaches who are working harder to do their jobs so they can collect a pension someday.
