i watched a bunch of air craft crash videos on youtube and my only question is

why is a VFR certification not obligatory for all pilots?

Because it's far more difficult to obtain and unnecessary for many private pilots.

Pray tell anon, what instruments are you going to rely on in your crop duster or bush plane?

Because most private pilots are fair weather pilots. I think it should be required for night VFR though.

I'd say it is, unless you one of the pak airline pilots who brought their pilots licence from the mumbai online pilot school - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-53182750#:~:text=Pakistan%27s%20aviation%20minister%20told%20parliament,pilot%20and%20air%20traffic%20control.
