1) NVFR has to be a separate rating, or every PPL student will be forced to train & pay for a qualification that many don't want. This is highly undesirable.
5.84 Private pilot (aeroplane) licence: aeronautical experience required
(1) For the purposes of paragraph 5.77(1)(f), a person’s aeronautical experience must consist of at least 40 hours of flight time as a pilot, being flight time that includes:
(a) at least 5 hours of general flight time as pilot in command; and
(b) at least 5 hours of cross‑country flight time as pilot in command; and
(c) at least 2 hours of instrument flight time.

a person who applies for a private pilot certificate with an airplane category and single-engine class rating must log at least 40 hours of flight time
(2) Except as provided in §61.110 of this part, 3 hours of night flight training in a single-engine airplane that includes—
(i) One cross-country flight of over 100 nautical miles total distance; and
(ii) 10 takeoffs and 10 landings to a full stop (with each landing involving a flight in the traffic pattern) at an airport.

2) Instrument ratings are renewed (or revalidated) annually in ICAO compliant states. If the USA wishes to be slightly unique, good luck to them! Although CASA has made the recency requirements relatively onerous, I must admit.
4) The USA does not operate a user-pays system. We do. On the whole, I prefer our system, although that's a political viewpoint obviously.

No, I'm sure we can agree that CASA's requirement for an IREX resit is the most uselessly unique requirement in aviation history. Certainly NZ CAA has never fallen that low!
As for the night qualification - I rarely saw a student meet day-only PPL competence in a bare 40 hours in about 4000 hours instructing and examining. Hence my remark about separating the PPL from a night approval. You don't need a flight test for the night qual though - doing the hours is enough, and makes it cheaper.
