Flight Safety
In my opinion, this situation should never have been allowed to develop in the first place, from the authority that "promotes" aviation (read FAA). But since it has, all pilots of light twins are left with no option, but to understand this SE performance problem thoroughly, especially in regard to the approach and landing complications.
Along with what
Tinstaafl has just posted, you must also consider the reasons people fly twins.
Single engine go-arounds and engine failures are things you learn about, practice, and should be regularly re-examined on.
However, the benefits of dual/redundant alternators, suction pumps etc. as well as (typically) greater speed and altitude capabilities (there are notable exceptions
) cannot be overstated when long water crossings, high altitude MSAs, inhospitable terrain might be in your planned route...
