Actually, that's a misconception the cable companies would like you to believe. Cablecards have been capable of being two way for years now, as it's only a matter of the hardware on the host device, not the card itself. But the cable companies don't want to support them, and don't have to by law as they do with oneway support. So there are no services that take advantage of two way cabelcard and thus manufacturers don't bother with them in their hardware.
