EMS runs King Airs for the fixed wing transports and the reason is boring and correct: it will get into a 3,500 foot strip at a rural hospital, it has two engines and known ice, and a mechanic in any state can work on it. Nothing newer does all three for the money.

A mechanic in any state can work on it. That is worth more than every spec sheet advantage a newer airframe has.
