The question about how long you are going to stay applies to every traveller in most countries. I emigrated to the UK and it didn't go away for 4-5 years. Then I moved back to my home country and they were wondering if I was going to go back to the UK for a few years. Maybe you are looking for a green card? It's worth everybody knowing how long you're staying so they can build something worthwhile. I'd be more wary of those without the questioning attitude as they might just want to churn and burn foreigners. People who stay in one place can see time pass, but those who travel just see changing places.
