This type of training is often taught in a rushed fashion during PPL training and in the CPL training the focus is too much on the IF rating. Unusual take off and landing conditions are, for most pilots, learnt on the job.

To answer your original question, in my opinion, although the method you describe is 100% correct (obviously except for specifics related to a/c type), most pilots don't do it because they didn't do it with an instructor until it became second nature.
