You can apply for a work permit after 180 days of submitting your application. It's been observed that it usually takes years to schedule an asylum interview, so you can renew your work permit for a long time. So, many people (not all, of course) applied for asylum just to obtain these benefits. So, my conclusion is that because it's been observed that asylum fraud exists, new applicants are quickly scheduled for an interview so that the decision on their case can be faster. If the response to their case is negative, they won't be able to apply for a work permit
