There was talk to the placebos on SBM at one point, the gist of it being that it would be far worse for them to do so for a few reasons. It erodes trust is the big point. But, I assume, there would be issues with informed consent too. How does one prescribe a placebo where the user can lookup the drug by name online. Not a medical professional, but I think the issue comes down to doctors saying no as a group and being ok if they shop another doctor. If enough do that, the issue goes away.
