The question that will never be answered is why didn't they use the BRS?

Why do you assume they didn't. At the time of that crash Cirrus had a
history of parachute deployment failures. One under actual and 2
during a factory sponsored demonstration to prove the system worked..
After that the deployment mechanism in the entire fleet was replaced
with an AD. The last SB that I am aware of for the parachute was
issued less then 6 months ago.
