I'm curious about what the situation would be where a person had done tons of great writing but could not come up with one sample. Confidentiality?

I agree it would be a bit odd--and something of a red flag TBH.

But yes. One can imagine someone writing non-public reports and analyses for internal or client use only and just doesn't really do that kind of thing in their spare time. Myself, I have tons of public material but I've also written many things I couldn't share.
