V1 Cuts in the SIM. WHY?

I am wondering why CASA and some Instructors insist that V1 cuts are required during your Instrument Proficiency check in the SIM in any aircraft below 5700kg? If you do your IPC in the aircraft you don't do a V1 cut, and nor should you, however if you are given a V1 cut during your simulator IPC and you muck it up you have failed. I fully get why they are demonstrated and taught during training especially for transport category aircraft above 5700kg but for smaller aircraft that are not designed to FAR Part25 I just don't get it. Perhaps someone can clear this up for me? Remember the scenario I am asking about is in the simulator during your IPC in aircraft below 5700kg.
