I totally agree. I'm just imagining that one easy argument against that would be "well, we want to see them code, otherwise, how can we be sure?".
To this, I answer that it may be true, but coding tests are no better in that regard, because they can be gamed very easily too.
And, as you're saying, I would expect that showing and explaining what you've built would actually be much more useful and a much better proof of competence and culture fit.
