I think most photographers would refuse to work with a model who insisted on using her own release, unless she was paying the photographer in which case you could negotiate terms agreeable to both of you. 

Most photographers use some version of a standard release form.

I had a few encounters that models demanded for using their release.  All of them were new mdoels, none of them last long.

I am one of those photographers who would NOT use the release from a model.  I don't even bother to read or look at theirs. I will politely ask her to go some place else to find work.   However, if the model is the client, that is a different story.

1.  Would a model walk in Ford Model agency, the model asks them to sign her release?  or
2.  Would a potential employee ask WalMart to sign a NCA before employment?

Good luck with that....LOL

Having said that, modes have every rights to question or request modification the release before they sign.  This is totally acceptable.  Frankly most photographer's release are so generic, it becomes a norm.  But you still have to read it careful and understand the consequence that you agree to the terms.
