Only one current Nikon has an articulated touchscreen, the 1V3. Which is a lot of things but not a professional camera. Canon is pretty advanced (not only) in that aspect. I don't know if professionals are so afraid of trying new things or manufacturers are the cowards in that business. Or they don't want to go the Sony way? Or they just can't make those displays themselves and would have to pay higher prices than phone manufacturers who buy hundred thousands in one go? Only the flagship 4/3 Olympus had at it's time an articulated screen. And that beast is weather sealed.
But when it comes to cameras beyond 3000$ touchscreens become rare. After app. 20.000$ again, one can find them again in PhaeOne MF backs which appear to be weather and scratch resistant enough for pros who can afford such a device.
Nikon would have to make a lot efforts to get to the same level of LiveView and video experience Canon users can already enjoy. In the lower price regions...
