The FAA does not recommend that an examiner agree to act as PIC of a

That does suggest that flying in IMC is not what should happen on an

To me it suggests that the FAA wants to limit its liability in the event of
an accident on a checkride.

Yes, recommending something isn't the same as prohibiting or requiring it.
