Riff, a turbine is by definition "spun" and its function in a jet engine, be it a pure jet or turboshaft, is to further accelerate the exhaust gases in a linear fashion hence its blade geometry is reversed as compared to an axial compressor.
You see how that would make a centrifugal turbine impractical in this example.
