Gary-

Good question I've never really considered, but I'd have to guess some of the reasons are:

cost added to engine package
added complexity to engine
lack of effeciency in NA motors vs. forced induction

I'm thinking about the induction temperature differences between a NA car @ 20F-110F max range vs. the turbo car working with exhaust which could be several hundred degrees F.

maybe other reasons too.
