I begin to think an equally illuminating question might be "Would you play a game with a DM who disallowed kender?"
D&D General Kender PC, Yes or No?

I would buy that DM a drink.
It's not that simple. If the distinction of kender is so important that halfling isn't good enough for someone the reason is generally because they wanted the shied of "I'm playing a kender to defend their behavior"

No. Kender don't exist in my campaign world, and I hate hate hate them, so they never will.

And the fact that you wouldn't allow that, says something about your table expectations and your opinions on player behaviour.
Please understand, I'm not making value judgements about right or wrong (on anyone) here, regardless of which side of the fence they are on. But it is certainly an interesting divide!

I also take a dim view of chaotic stupid & am not above calling someone out when they start causing problems. There are people in this thread who weren't playing back when kender were a thing so I feel like It's important to give some history on what specifically a kender is. It's literally a race built on almost every negative trait a player can exhibit at the table & to top it off was written in such a way that the absolute morality of the system at the time would punish the victimized players if they ever snapped. It's a race one very small step down from Jill's stalker X making lewd tongue & hand signals across the table at her.

We seem to have gone from "I would/would not allow kender" to "I would not allow kender and you are a bad person if you ask to play one" rather quickly.
