there are no inspection requirements for altimeter or airspeed for VFR

You're being too reality-based.
Try telling that to the "I'm just covering my a__ and getting my
retirement" FAA inspector who constructed my last EXP operating
limitations. Had to get a pitot/static test done on a glider, then
have IFR forbidden in the op limits.
You probably need to be on LSD (or government payroll) to figure out
the rules any more.
