Turtle shells are obselete due to the respiration enchantment. While somewhat difficult to obtain, it can be applied to diamond and netherite gear, which provides more protection than a turtle shell. Currently, they're useless and not worth the effort. Yes, its useful early game - but almost all players progress through minecraft very quickly, and this simple change can broaden its playerbase of users.
The alteration is simple - make respiration, and also aqua affinity, exclusive to the turtle shell helmet. Quite fittingly, marine enchantments deserve to go on marine armour. If players want the benefits of desireable aqua enchantments, they must breed turtles - making them relevant once more!
