i think it can be a fair and productive question in a sense. like yeah realistically the person being interviewed doesn't have an undying passion for whatever the business does, but at least for me, when i'm looking for work there's always some jobs that are just an instant "nope not interested" and some that i know i want to go for straight away. asking what it was about a specific role that made that difference to a candidate could absolutely spark a useful and productive conversation.
