Because, quite simply, many accidents and incidents are the result of lack of competency in low speed flight.
What happens in the real world, in the US v. AU, is not reflected in the syllabi, but it is in the airsafety record.
Tootle pip!!
Based on my observations, instructors are generally underconfident in stalling sequences themselves, this is passed onto their trainees and reflected in the accident stats. Having completed many tailwheel endorsement with FIR holders I have had the chance to see their reluctance to stall an aeroplane first hand.
