One reason that comes to mind is that you have no guarantee that the
ceiling under your IMC condition is high enough to allow for recovery.


Well, "inadvertant flight into IMC" is almost always a push on regardless
scenario where the pilot gets lower and lower, often in inhospitable
terrain, so it'd be kind of useless in that anyway.
