That's not quite the whole story, is it.
The methods of certifying approach speeds in modern large transport aircraft are not based on 1.3CAS, but the way they are done, the results are almost the same as if it was based on 1.3CAS.
Why the difference --- because stalling a modern large transport aircraft for real can and probably will do structural damage to the aircraft.
The last Boeing aircraft certified based on actual stalling was the B707.
Tootle pip!!
