The commerical is a great idea. However, you must hold an instrument
rating in order to apply CFI-airplane. I'm not sure why since most CFIs
(and even most CFIIs) are not current or capable of going in the
clouds.

I don't know if 'most' is an accurate description, but certainly 'many'
CFIs are not instrument current.
