Why did the Pope stop calling crusades? Like why not against Andalusia or the Ottoman Empire?

they did call crusades&christian coalitions many many times against the ottoman empire though
in fact most crusades were called against turks.
for example byzantines were actually helped by crusaders many times against the turkish empires/states. against the ottomans they were helped by crısaders in 1396 and 1444 which pushed back the capture of constantinople more than 50 years.
just as similarly the germans/hungarians got help from christian allies against the growing ottoman threat. one of the largest campaigns against the ottomans was the great turkish war, which started the empires long decline.
it was fought between the ottoman empire&vassals versus holy roman empire+polish-lithuania+russia+hungary+venice+spain+a bunch of smaller states and christian rebel factions of all kinds
