I'm not really sure what would cause you to say that. The AndyMark omni wheels have a 1.0 coefficient of friction in the radial (forward/back) direction and I know our team and many others have run them under power just fine.
You won't get as much traction out of them as you will out of a traction tread like a roughtop or wedgetop rubber and you may be easier for other robots to push from the side, but you will still have more pushing force with them powered than you would with them unpowered.
