Default why no true high resolution systems for "jetstream" seeing?

While it's true that webcams are doing wonders for certain types of seeing,
in many areas of the US during the Wintertime, the jetstream is constantly
overhead and even a webcam cannot undo this blurring. I keep reading about
these new adaptive optics scopes, like the new pro scope used for solar
imaging, which also incorporate speckle imaging and reconstruction- why
nothing for amateurs? Couldn't blurring of frames (caused by high
jetstreams) be deblurred or "reconstructed" so blurring is minimized. With
computers and the power they possess these days, I'm surprised there aren't
programs that can do this or maybe jetstream effects still can't be truly
nullified.

Thanks,
Frank
