Why isn't TurboTax listed as an approved e-filing tax software

I have a Single Member LLC (SMLLC) and have been using TurboTax for years.  This year, when I went to e-file my taxes with California, TurboTax would not let me e-file to California and blamed it on the state of Califonia.    

However, when I look at the state's list of approved tax software for e-filing, I do not see TurboTax listed.  Why is that?  Does this mean we could e-file using these other software programs?  If so, why not TurboTax?

Here is the link to California's approved e-filing software: https://www.ftb.ca.gov/tax-pros/efile/approved-efile-software.html

No, TurboTax is approved by California. If you go to this FTB web page File online you will find TurboTax listed under Other options.
