Oh, but the explanation is simple. They resent being told to eat their vegetables. They know you're right, but don't want to or can't do it, and attack you for reminding them of that.
> I'm grossly under-estimating the amount of work
Probably a big part of it - if you write a lot, it is very easy to forget how intimidating it can feel to those who don't. And related hang ups can be amplifiers - if you don't write much and have insecurities (sorry, "imposter syndrome"), being told this should be an easy thing can be triggering. And this is employment we're talking about - it is definitionally high-stakes, whatever the stakes are.
