There is a "close to" drop-in board to replace PS/2 boards, it's the PS32 stacker board. It's the same board that is used for the steam PS/3 upgrade kits, and it's sold with 3V and 5V compatible connectors to replace failed 3V and 5V PS/2 boards.
PS3 Kits are pretty easy to install. Not sure how they can get easier. Now in the DCC world the NMRA compliant connectors make it even easier, but not everything has those. For 3 Rail O, I think the cost of creating the adapter kits would push the price up too high. Then there's the fact at some point you will have to go wire by wire on many models.
But again, the PS3 kits and instructions are very good and it's a simple enough process. Read through, pay attention, and take your time.
As for PS1 there is not value there. Sales would be small, cost would be high, and they're less capable than what I PS3 upgrade will cost. Just getting components to make the boards would be mostly impossible.
