One often sees this when doing checkrides or familiarisation with new club or school members.
The manual may recommend threshold speed of, say, 65kt, as 1.3 x Vs, but the pilot will coast in at between 70-80kt, to use up half the runway bleeding off speed, ballooning, etc. It comes from an excessive fear and misunderstanding of slow flight, probably due to ill-conceived stall / slow flight initial training.
I apportion a fair bit of blame to instructors who make initial stall awareness and recovery training into a big piece of drama for nervous students, instead of imparting it as an understandable, practical acquisition of a flying skill.
