It’s not that people don’t like it, it’s that they don’t think it’s true—you’re asserting something about how the world already works which seems clearly false
Interesting. So you’re saying you don’t think it is true that you could ask your next prospective employer to do a task for you as part of the interview process?
Not if you want the interview process to actually continue (or the “task” is “can we have a 5 minute chat so I can prepare for Wednesday’s interview”)
And if I was such a strong candidate for a particular job that employers were willing to devote lots of extra time to keeping me in the process, I think I’d rather use that to negotiate more money, responsibility or better working arrangements than set my future line manager a writing assignment...

That’s correct
