The stabilized (power on, if you like) approach technique is used in jet transport aircraft for a very good reason...very large rates of descent can develop quickly with swept wing jets, otherwise...witness the 777 at Heathrow.
No (or too little) power, bad results.
Of course, a large jet could be flown at idle thrust during approach, starting from a much higher altitude, but then you would have those high rates of descent to contend with...not good in a jet.
