I believe the issue is conductor heating. Sheathed cable has to be in open-air to maintain its rating.  Conduit that encloses it impacts air flow.  
Someone advise if my understanding is incorrect.   I do not fully understand the electrical code. I am not licensed to expound on the electrical code. The only person I've ever encountered that would be even close, would be Mike Holt...

I don't know. I've never thought about doing that. It would be much 
harder to pull than individual conductors and it would be a waste of 
conduit fill capacity.

Right. And if it's steel conduit, twisting is not important.
