Sounds like even VFR pilots need to work on getting a proper scan to
be a habit, then.

I don't think too many aircraft in stable flight will spiral out of
control in just 90 seconds, so the loss of control has to be the
pilot's fault ... and it implies that he was never in control to begin
with.

If the IMC is a cloud, there is a good likelihood that it isn't stable.
You'll be bouncing along, and the attitude of the plane can change
drastically in far less than 90 seconds. It may take that much time to
collide with terrain, though.

I'm sure it's much safer to fly IFR in VMC than to fly VFR in IMC.
The implication is that all flights should be IFR, but that admittedly
would take a lot of the fun out of flying for many pilots.

You apparently didn't understand the statistics that you snipped. Go back
and read them again for comprehension.
