My cousin is a cake decorator at Publix, and she says the few brides who've requested this get super pissed when they find out they'll be charged the same as they would be for a normal cake.
I was going to say that I bet this started when some groom saw how much fondant or smoothed butter cream was going to cost and said "eff it, just leave it off. I'm not paying that much".
I'm picky about the type of icing I will eat. If it's sugary frosting, I scrape it off. But give me a buttercream frosting and I'll lick the bowl clean.
My mom used to do this in the 90s. She used to make a chocolate mayonnaise cake that she would just dust with powdered sugar over a doily. It was lame.
The cake did NOT stand alone. It however was Devine with cool whip & raspberries.

I'm not a fan of the naked cake. Andplusalso, I like to decorate them. No frosting is no bueno for decorating.
ETA: Frosting is also good for covering up mistakes and not so pretty things. My cakes look great decorated, but I don't know that I'd have a very easy time making a naked cake looking equally pretty.
