Yes that's bad in the US, many important and high paying jobs ask this question during the interview process, and it could disqualify someone if a roughly equivalent candidate who answers "no" to this question is also in the pool of applicants. It gets even trickier when applying for jobs related to the government. If nothing else, it adds stress and time to the application process because you have to explain it several times. Based on the number of articles that get posted on here complaining about suboptimal hiring processes in US tech jobs, I think it's fairly obvious that this guy is not going to have a good time applying to jobs for the rest of his life.
