You couldn't be more wrong if you tried.
People who have the means don't generally fly airplanes like Learjets and
Barons for leisure because they are not particularly fun airplanes to fly if
what you're after is the sheer joy of flying.
Sure, they're all fun to fly initially when you're learning a new aircraft,
and larger, faster, and more complex is always a bonus. But after the
honeymoon is over all the pilots I know would chose the smaller, simpler
aircraft to fly for fun every time.
Perhaps that is what you would choose, but someone is buying Barons. If what
you say were true, everyone would be flying ultralights, as they are the
smallest and simplest of all.
