Why does the verb after 寫 remain important? I would have thought that the relevant verb is 寫。All my investigations confirmed what you said, but nobody has been able to explain it,

It's not about avoiding repetition, but the difference of 关于/对 in usage.

对…（持态度）is a collocation. It is similar to "toward" as in "attitude toward" collocation.

**他对你颇有偏见**（correct）

**他关于你颇有偏见**（incorrect）

关于 serves as "about" "with regard to"

**胡适所作关于新诗的那番论调饱受非议**（correct）（**discussion/view（derogatory）** on/about modern poetry）

**胡适对鲁迅为人的论断彰显其翩翩风度**（correct）（**judgement/conclusion** of 鲁迅's humanness）
