All high perf singles will have Vs=59kt, because anything lower cripples performance and anything higher is not allowed on Part 23 SE (some exceptions e.g. TBM700 C2 etc which are ~65kt).

I guess the SR20/22 is disadvantaged for forced landings because the gear cannot be retracted.
The vast majority of Cirrus pulls are appropriate and are genuine life saving scenarios
We will have to disagree there.

But maybe not if one takes it in the proper context which is limited quality (for the aircraft type) PPL training, coupled with the "airliner" advertising methods.
