It shoudl be *required* that every VFR pilot experience actual IMC in
the three hours as part of their VFR training, to recognize and see the
real dangers of IMC.

One reason that IMC isn't even required for an instrument rating (let alone
for a private pilot certificate) is that (benign) IMC is rare in many parts
of the country. In those places, an IMC requirement would make it all but
impossible to become a pilot.
