 Weren’t Turing complete contracts originally part of Bitcoin via Miniscript and then later removed due to increased complexity?

 I'm not sure, doubt it, because it would require so much on-chain resources, maybe a simple version might have been offered early on who knows? 

BitVM looks like a super simple version of off-chain computation, where something like RGB is going much more balls to the wall on it, which one people adopt is anyones guess

I honestly just want some sort of AMM/DEX on Bitcoin that gains traction, I am tired of dealing with P2P with so little liquidity or being forced into KYC exchanges

 Not due to miniscript, no, but bitcoin originally had a function called OP_CAT which was like the heavyweight champion of expressive scripting. It was removed along with a bunch of other powerful functions after a bug was found in one of them that allowed someone to create 1 billion bitcoins in a wacky transaction
