I'm not sure I agree, although I suspect there may be a degree of semantics. There is a difference between teaching, and demonstrating with student follow through. The removal of the requirement to teach the EOL does not remove the obligation to demonstrate. So any instructor that puts their student in for test with minimal if no experience of EOLs has not done their job. The wording is quite clear in the relevant Heli TrainingCom.
If any instructor feels they are unable to demonstrate an EOL to a satisfactory level, then the relevant Head of Training should address this issue.
I still maintain that completing the last 8 feet without damage to the aircraft is a party trick that is the preserve of a flight instructor who flies the procedure day in day out. That exercise has a relatively small margin for error. The student should be assessed as being able to perform said exercise whilst falling into the larger margin of not injuring the occupants, because frankly in a real emergency I do not care what happens to the machine provided the pilot and occupants are safe. I also find it quite distressing when I see people being injured whilst practicing for an event that thankfully is very rare.
To complete an EOL without damage to machine or occupants requires a level of skill that every instructor should possess. That is not a skill a PPL requires IMHO
