Binary is flat out the better easier cheaper option for computing due to the very nature of how transistors work and current fabrication technology. However it does not mean we can't still explore a ternary computer design.
Maybe in the future someone will discover a semiconductor or material/atomic science electrical switch that supports three states as intrinsically as binary is to transistors.
