But they aren’t “parroting the same lie”. Asking why are you interested in this job is the most basic way to learn more about the candidate. “I just want any job and applied to all postings I saw” is never going to be true for anyone, because no you didn’t, the same person doesn’t apply to be a civil engineer for roadside construction, restaurant chef, and computer animator.
You have filtered the job postings in some way, presumably by your skill set, and so you have some criteria or reason you applied to this company and not another. And that reason is not a lie for most people. They applied to be a restaurant chef because they know how to cook and that’s what they say, referring to their past experience.
No, why do you think so? This has nothing to do with having multiple offers.
