Makes no sense to me at all, how can you create being you know will not be perfect, then test them knowing they will fail when you could have made them to pass the test in the first pace ?

Why would creating perfect beings be coercive in any way ?

For he himself to be "perfect", he must fulfill certain attributes. In Islam, the Quran mentioned so many, justice, mercy, strength, ownership, creation...etc.
Creating perfect creations would break the attribute of "Uniqueness" that God has. He is the only perfect thing, breaking that unique attribute through making other perfect beings would just ruin the system. Leading to the Titans/Gods of Olympus scenario.
