It has perhaps nothing to do with the cirrus airframe but it has everything to do with Cirrus the company.   They market to non-pilots.   ...and although their pilot/owner organization seems pro-active on training issues I'm not sure it's the right message at point of sale.

 

Imagine:   "Thank you for your half a million bucks.   Now that you have your panacea transportation device, please step to the left and see the man in the black suit.  He's going to take you for a ride that will scare the crap out of you so that you will take this seriously and not become a liability to our business.  Thank you for joining the Cirrus family....."
