Stall Spin Awareness/Recovery

Why is spin training not included as part of qualifying for a PPL? I have had my PPL for 16 years and only recently completed 5 hours of training (both in the classroom and practising recovery from 1 and 2 turn spins) and it really opened my eyes as to how utterly unequipped I was to deal with it in a real life situation.

This should be a mandatory part of all initial flight training and not just a post PPL “optional training choice”. I had a close friend who may have still been with us had he had this type of training.
