It doesn’t matter though. The interview is likely a formality to prove they tried hiring from outside before the job is given to an internal applicant, H1B visa holder willing to work for peanuts, or a boss’s relative.
Perfect, so you have an answer. “I want to work here because I have relevant skills. They come from my previous experience in X where I did Y.”
As for it not mattering, sure, but that’s a criticism of the whole process/the system (which is absolutely fair criticism), not of this particular question.
