I am not sure that is true.
The spin self-recovery could be a basic protection that is not lost. As it can use GPS Alt, and Inertial Nav to identify the aircraft is dropping fast and rotating in a particular direction. Then the system takes over and carries out the recovery.
Entry into a stalled/spin condition could be extremely fast in severe turbulence at cruise level with sudden wind reversals and OAT changes and yes even pilot mishandling. In some cases there may be no gentle and considered 'approach to stall'.
