For me it's about respect and power imbalance. A company asking me to do work without them putting in equal effort sets a tone for a culture I personally don't ever want to be a part of. Like I find take-home interviews disrespectful. Time-bounded interviews with an interviewer also there (aka FAANG style onsites with 4 hours of interviews) is far and away my preferred process, especially if I can do them all at once. One problem I've seen in a remote friendly world is companies wanting to spread the interviews out over multiple days.
