That too, but GA pilots are notorious for overestimating their competence. The Dunning-Kruger effect is real. Doing touch-and-gos a few times a month in a C17

That too, but GA pilots are notorious for overestimating their competence. The Dunning-Kruger effect is real. Doing touch-and-gos a few times a month in a C172 does not prepare one for handling high-performance fighter aircraft.
I used to work in Search and Rescue and the number of GA pilots who do bone-headed things getting themselves or others killed would shock you.

There is no regulation preventing aircraft manufacturers from selling GA performance beasts. There is just not a big enough market to sell into to make it sustain a business.
