Specialized materials for turbines were scarce, the ball bearing factories had been flattened, bombers arrived in cross-fire swarms with long range escorts, engines tended to flare out or catch on fire, one hit would bring them down, air dominance had already been achieved, and they were slow and vulnerable on takeoff/landing.

And of course Hitler insisted they be used for bombing.
