Why do companies look for alternatives to Turing?

The common reasons are pricing opacity and the individual model. Turing does not publish a rate card, so pricing is quoted through sales with the platform margin embedded in one number, and senior developer bill rates are commonly reported at $100 to $200 per hour. Even at that price you are hiring one AI vetted individual, not a team, so project management, code review, and QA remain your responsibility, and several clients report needing significant oversight of placed engineers. For a single seat inside a strong team that is fine. For an ongoing build, the lack of a team and the opaque pricing both become friction.
