You could say the same about any form of emergency training.
Nothing in 39 years of flying had told me that retracting flaps for a continued landing is a formal emergency procedure, why would I train for it?
I regularly practice formalized emergency procedures, as each pilot should...
I do not extend flaps before I need them, and their extension is appropriate to the continued approach to landing, so it's never been a problem to have to consider retracting them!
I have had an asymmetric flaps failure in a Cessna 180 floatplane, while on the step, in a remote lake, and that was eye opening. I'm heartily glad I was not retracting them down final approach when it happened!
