I have always wondered why there are no small GA turboprops.

Yeah, but that Maule is a pretty big and specialized aircraft, and the
turbine is 420hp; I specified from 100-300hp. Enough to power the average
Cessnas and Pipers, or any other average GA plane. The Maule is almost more
on par with a Cessna Caravan, not a 182 or 172.

Either way, I'll rephrase the question a bit; why are there not more small
turboprops available for GA, and why are they not standard accross more
models?
