I've never experienced this but it seems unusual to me. Maybe they have met with a lot of qualified candidates and they've asked this question of each to help them select the best fit?

I feel like that is one of those hippy-dippy feel good questions that some companies love.
It makes me see red flags, but it could be just me. Companies are struggling to find qualified candidates who will stay and who are a fit. It could be their best effort to do just that. If you love everything else, I would play along. Maybe they really want to help you grow your passions. ;)

Just another tact in engagement.
They don't want to waste your time if you are not interested.
