Reconfirmed this issue with `fc-match -a cursive:lang=zh-cn | less`. Source Han
Sans is, again, first on the list.
The connection between cursive/script is indeed wobbly. In theory cursive
should only have things that are, well, cursive like Zapfino[1] and 草, but
since there isn't one family for a more slowly-written script it is used for
"elementary school level" script fonts like 楷 and Comic Sans[2] as well.

Fontconfig's 60-latin runs "cursive" in this sequence:
1. ITC Zapf Chancery Std[3]
2. Zapfino[1]
3. Comic Sans[2]
From [3] you can see Zaph Chancery isn't as "cursive" as Zapfino either;
it's
more like an in-between handwitten script. In Chinese terminology you may call
it a 行?
