You took the words out of my mouth so to speak. Its about recurrent training aand checking. Even for a MECIR holder! Sure an Airline pilot with 20,000 + hours is not likely to come unstuck even after a few years of retirement, however a young CPL with no IR is going to be in a far less experienced position unless he gets checked at review time.

I do think 10-15 min of every review for PPL and CPL VFR should be set aside for some instrument time and more training if need be. I do, just for the challenge of it.

Also agree with FTDK on what excuse for taking paying pax into that?

PPL these days is 2 hours only. Was the most fun of my whole training
