Short answer: actioned is rare because it's not so well-known in America.

I think it is common enough in U.S. business-speak, but that there is a strong degree of disapproval for being business-speak. My sense is it is not commonly found in U.S. English outside of business.

I'm somewhat amused in this case, that the word being chosen for a status change is one of the words on the option buttons above the table :)
