For spinning to be included in the PPL there would probably need to be changes made to the basic FI rating so that all instructors were competent and safe in teaching it.

How can an instructor call themselves instructors if they do not have the skills to teach and get out of a spin?
The old idea of an instructor in anything not just aviation was someone who passed over their life time of experience to others.
Yet in aviation instructors can literally be novice low time pilots.
One argument is that spinning is an aerobatic manouvre. That argument does not hold with me as the same argument could be made as an excuse with any out of the box manouvre from spiral dives to stall turns to even steep turns.
Should you not teach pilots to handle aircraft and be comfortable with it?
Ok spins need a bit more care for the reasons given but I would loose some portion of the PPL in exchange for a requirement for out of the box handling of aircraft so we produce pilots not aircraft drivers and instructors who can instruct not part instruct because they dont know better!
