You are assuming an ideal case where the homework is challenging enough and meets the student where they’re at. That is quite a rare educational experience IMO. There also has to be the right amount, so that students are working and getting that practice without getting burnt out. More often homework is “busy-work”, or doesn’t go hand in hand with lessons, and there’s way too much of it. I’ve even seen it used as punishment or retribution.
