I very much agree. The vast majority of Cirrus chute pulls have been in circumstances where there was no need to use the chute.
However, the report of "the wife" liking the chute option is awfully persistent
Like the "simple" fixed landing gear, and the "simple" but awfully crude way they did away with the prop RPM lever (which causes every SR20/22 owner to burn perhaps 5% more juice) it is very good marketing.
