I don't think he was saying that people buy a cirrus to learn to fly. Rather that, flight schools have to invest millions to buy airplanes. Modernizing fleets is very expensive for flight schools and they need to recoup that some how.
I paid 80$/h for flying in the duchess, today they charge 5-600$/h.
