  My point was presented as a question, you have the right to clarify your thoughts if you disagree. People make interpretations out of what other people have said. That's how language works, actually. It just seems that you say it's wrong for the employees to have the edge, but not for the employer to have it. In another industry there's a lot more job seekers than available positions (e.g. the supply of jobs is lower than the demand). In those industries the company has the edge, it's entitled to hold all power in an interview situation, and can filter applications that try to make certain demands. In the tech industry, there's big demand for experienced developers. Software engineers can choose a job from several good options. Therefore the applicants are entitled to make certain demands, like asking questions from the employer. Besides, many employers except this, and say in the beginning of the interview that it's a "two-way interview". Your comment made it seem that it's okay for only one side to be entitled, that is the company instead of the individual.
