Turing-complete means you cannot write an algorithm to prove termination in every terminating case, but it doesn't mean you can't prove termination in particular cases, and it certainly doesn't mean you can't reason about your code.

Based on other comments here there certainly may be questionable decisions in the design of Solidity but that doesn't mean Turing-completeness is one of them.
