I think you missed the point. You can make a high G carved turn on a SL sidecut at slower speeds and in less room. That is why they are desirable to many of us. I've been able to have lots of fun on my SL skis the last couple of weeks. Carved turns on GS skis weren't really an option because of the lack of terrain (less terrain means more skiers per open run).

Max,
Come to my little 1000 ft mountain with 5 open trails and watch the GS equipped kids and recreational racers get up to 40 ( with GPS devices to prove it ). They scare the S***t out of everyone else. It may not be right to permit them to do so, it is very dangerous to others, but, it's reality.

I will never buy the argument that GS speeds can't be reached by recreational skiers and, therefore, no sense in buying them. Using the same logic, nobody would buy a Porshe, but, we know some do.
