My guess is that this wasn't the only thing that spooked the candidate. To be brutally honest, anyone talented enough to merit an expedited decision like that would probably be awfully bored working at a company in the online faxing space. More importantly, they probably already had a competitive offer from a company in a more interesting space.
The only thing I can think of that would be more boring than working at an online fax company would be working at one with a series of meticulous HR processes.

There are lots of companies in "boring" businesses that could provide interesting technical challenges and pleasant working environments for developers. Why would an online fax company be any more boring than an apartment rental company (Airbnb) or a taxi service (Uber)? I'd guess that those two companies would have no difficulty attracting good developers.
