All do have an artificial horizon. Your attitude indicator has that.
Making autopilot mandatory would make a huge amount of GA pilots unable to fly due to cost. And I’m not sure It would help. JFK JR’s plane had one. (level 5 is not even available for GA, though auto land just launched, but it would be six figures. )
The problem is you don’t know when you’re spinning in the first place without visual reference. Pilots get disoriented (the g force from the spin can feel a lot like normal gravity) and get overwhelmed.
That particular incident was an overly confident, poorly skilled pilot doing something risky that most pilots simply wouldn’t
