I have been in position to hire about 20 people in my career and have asked this question. While I would accept your response and judge accordingly you seem to miss the point of why I would ask it.
It isn't to be told that you are a good value proposition. That is obvious. Just as it is obvious that the reason you want the job is to pay your bills.
The point of the question (like many of such generic questions) is to learn more about you than your skills.
You response would tell me that you are business-oriented. Tend to prefer to work with facts. Strive to be technically correct. Probably don't BS a lot and may have some issues working in teams that are sensitive to such types.
Of course I would integrate that with other indicators during the interview.
Be aware though, many of these soft questions aren't really about what they are asking.
