Why does a single engine piston need an all glass cockpit??

I would imagine for the same reason other planes have glass...more reliable, more information, less scanning, better situational awareness, safer.

A single engine VFR plane does not need a glass cockpit. But a pilot who is penilily challanged and has money to compensate may want one.

Trust me, glass is nice to fly with, the more you have, the more you wish it could do. The reason a single needs it is because not everybody who wants to fly an airbus will ever get the chance to, so why not let those who can afford it, pay for it. Nobody needs a car with 600 ponies of a bike with a 1:1 power to weight ratio, but if I had the cash you bet I'd buy them.
