Funnily enough, my Science Fiction class graded like that.

If you didn't have high information density in essays you were torn into. AI was a disadvantage due to verboseness.

Most people dropped the class and prof went on sabbatical.

Besides being tough, it's shaping students' writing in a specific direction. That dense style I think of as 19th century English philosophy prose, though I hear it may still be the ideal in parts of Europe.
