I finally looked it up - in New York, at least, you have to name all the elector-candidates and attach their pledges to your certificate of candidacy - https://www.elections.ny.gov/NYSBOE/download/law/certificateofcandidacy.pdf … I guess that's another answer to why not just have free-for-all write-ins.
