To my recollection, many Asian dramas (and anime), even if the restaurant is supposed to serve cuisine that doesn’t really have fried rice as traditional repotaire (eg: western), ended up using fried Rice as a way to demonstrate the new guy’s skill (at least, being acceptable to the restaurant). Why is that?

The same reason western chefs will test their new guys by asking them to make an omelet. It’s an absurdly simple dish, a regular omelet is literally just some fat, and then eggs with some garnish on top. As simple as it is, a perfectly made omelet is heavenly, but a poorly made one tastes like trash so it’s all about the technique.
Most untrained cooks like home cooks can’t even fold an omelet and most of them will probably overcook the eggs.
The same thing applies to fried rice. Very simple with few ingredients so it’s all about the technique.
