The basic principle of the Enigma has not changes, there were extra layers added (extra wheels and the programming board), dramatically increasing the complexity. At some point it simply exceeded the capabilities of the Polish specialists and their equipment, plus they were under the occupation.
Point is - the Turing's contribution was based on previous work, so it is right to give the credit where it is due. Like the Apollo flight could not have happened without the Mercury, most technical breakthroughs rely on achievements of others.
In addition, while the Enigma work rightly took plenty of limelight, I am not sure it was his main contribution to science - the computing machines might be that.
