Yes. Turbos are being added to everything, killing the NA engine. The reason is to create a smaller displacement motor which still has the power that drivers expect.
Turbo engines can consume vast amounts of fuel when opened up to full throttle. Modern turbo engines are also very easily remapped for extra power (and consumption) just by changing the boost control.
All the added complexity and cost just to match emissions requirements, which are all negated when the driver 'puts the boot in'.
Turbos are the ultimate cheat device.
