I think it's a false sense of security for pilots to believe that modern designs are almost possible to wing drop, therefore not require such training.
Since a high proportion os students never even balance the aircraft on climbout with right rudder (left on Yaks of course), or never practise stalls whilst at full power, they pretty much become solo test pilots when it stalls for real - with a wing drop. Then they pull back harder, or apply opposite aileron, or a thousand other things they shouldn't do.
