Because the new turbo pilot might think - Now that I have a Turbo, instead
of staying down low out of the clouds, or even better, staying home, I
know that if I encounter Ice with my new turbo I can "safely" climb up
through the generally 3000' thick (at the most) layer of icing conditions
and be safe.... In other words, if I encounter Ice, I can climb out of it
fast & strong with a turbo plane, so more pilots decision makings may be a
little more adventurous.

They might think that. They might think that with a stronger climbing NA
engine, too.

Another reason might be flight planning - I can/want to get there in a
short amount of time & fuel, but I must fly higher to achieve this plan,
so I must go through that small layer of clouds.

Considering that flight into "known" or "forecast" icing conditions it
prohibited without an appropriately approved configuration....
