I suspect there are a number of very human reasons why an author wouldn't want to do that. I also suspect the output would be pretty different.
I find the idea kind of revolting, but I am also surprised that collaborative writing is so rare. I suppose it cuts to the question of what the point of writing the book is in the first place.
It is hard to think of a recent example aside from the expanse by "James S.A. Corey"

Compelling art is definitionally outside the mainstream, as this is a pre-requisite for novel insight and creativity. This is why hundred million dollar movies and series can't simply hire good writers.
