.piolibdeps/Adafruit GFX Library_ID13/Adafruit_SPITFT.h:25:17: fatal error: SPI.h: No such file or directory

I've tried the following sketch:

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>
#include <Fonts/FreeSans9pt7b.h>
#include <P3RGB64x32MatrixPanel.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <SPI.h>

P3RGB64x32MatrixPanel matrix;
const char* ssid = "ssid";
const char* password = "password";

#define TZ (2*60*60) //UTC + 2

void printLocalTime()
{
  struct tm timeinfo;
  if(!getLocalTime(&timeinfo)){
    Serial.println("Failed to obtain time");
    return;
  }
  Serial.println(&timeinfo, "%A, %B %d %Y %H:%M:%S");
}

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  delay(1000);
  Serial.println((String)"Attempting to connect to " + ssid);
  WiFi.begin(ssid,password);
  delay(500);
  int k = 0;
  while(WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED && k<20) {
    Serial.println((String)"Attempt number: " + (k+1));
    k++;
    delay(1000);
  }
  IPAddress ip = WiFi.localIP();
  if(WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    ESP.restart();
  } else {

    Serial.println((String)"Connected to *" + ssid + "* ! IP Address: " + ip.toString());
  }

  configTime(TZ, 0, "europe.pool.ntp.org", "0.ro.pool.ntp.org");
  printLocalTime();

  matrix.begin();
  delay(500);
  matrix.setTextColor(matrix.color444(180,0,0));
  matrix.setFont(&FreeSans9pt7b);
  matrix.println("IP Address: ");
  matrix.setTextColor(matrix.color444(255,255,255));
  matrix.println(ip);

}

void loop() {
  delay(1000);
  printLocalTime();
}

And I keep getting: .piolibdeps/Adafruit GFX Library_ID13/Adafruit_SPITFT.h:25:17: fatal error: SPI.h: No such file or directory

The easy fix is to write #include <SPI.h> in the sketch.

But I don't see #include <SPI.h> in any of your examples. How's that ? Why do I need it and you don't ?
