I can not imagine a situation where some random person messages me on linkedin asking me to solve a coding challenge, and I do anything other than block them.

I'm guessing you've never experienced the enormous pressure of needing to find a job to buy food and clothes for your family. That's good, I'm glad that you don't know that feeling. But if you did, you'd know how easy it could be for a person to start feeling more and more desperate for any kind of lifeline.
There is still no chance that my first reaction to a random stranger asking me to do work for them is "sure", without building some sort of connection. Granted, that means I could still get phished via a coding exercise, but it would require a bit more effort on the attacker's part.
