Superchargers are great for drag racing as they can negate turbo lag and get you off the line a hair quicker.

In a towing situation where time to spool up the turbo isn't an issue, it makes no sense to accept the parasitic loss...particularly for a manufacturer looking at govt fuel economy rules.

That's just your opinion. Furthermore,I said nothing about government, manufacture or fuel economy rules.

I stated that I would install a supercharger instead of a turbo. Let me put it another way: if I was going to pay money to modify my car or truck and was choosing between a turbo and a supercharger, I'd choose a supercharger.. It's my preference. It's less complicated.

BTW, turbos are used in drag racing and road racing.
