Actually Shiny, I dont "hate" instructors. I don't "hate" anyone. It's a discussion on safety and training standards.
There are many great instructors.
There are also lazy instructors, and a lot (more, likely) lazy students and PPL's. They get my wrath, too. It's unbelievable some of the stupid decisions licenced pilots make. You read about them in aftermath.
Personally I despise laziness, sloppiness if you had to characterize what I "hate".
I used to buckle the seatbelts when I left my rental plane. Every time. It's just what you do. Order. Few care though.
On the exact topic I can't see how introducing more realism would do anything other than improve training.
Maybe I'm different, but if I was your student, even for non required training flights, I would always be willing to go up -- and pay for -- extra flights in challenging conditions. Just to be better, and safer. And I'm still willing (although I haven't lately) But not every instructor wants to teach in nasty conditions. Yeah I get it no payback to risking the AC.
I get icing is a problem but there are doable days. I did some actual during my rating and I think it's a good idea. Is different than a hood.
