Why are turbine-powered aircraft "considered ready for takeoff"?
Piston aircraft require a run up, in which the pilot sets the power to a specified RPM, in order to check proper functioning of a variety of systems, and to ensure that the oil is warmed up to a specified temperature. Among the systems to be tested are carborator heat (for normally-aspirated engines), magneto operation, alternate air (for fuel-injected engines), hydraulic systems, and propeller governor (for variable-pitch props). In an aircraft with a hydraulically-activated variable pitch prop, the prop is "exercised" by varying the pitch, which allows the cold motor oil in the prop governor to mix with the warm oil in the engine sump, to bring the entire lubrication system's oil temperature up into the green arc. During the runup, the vacuum system is checked to ensure that enough vacuum pressure is provided to critical instruments. Lastly, a grounding check is made with the magnetos, to make sure that the magneto electrical system is properly grounded.

Performing a run up at the ramp would prove dangerous to people and aircraft if not tied down and due to FOD. 

Generally turbine warmup occurs pretty quickly after startup and during taxi. They are usually ready to go at the ramp.
