I've asked people "why are you applying to this role at this company, out of all the options?"

Honest answers like "it uses a tech stack I like and the salary is competitive" are fine. Sycophantic answers like "I just really believe in your mission and company values" are less endearing.

Yeah, I don't like the question because it seems like it's fishing for a sycophantic answer. But, it's good to give the candidate an opportunity to explain why this role is a particularly good fit for them, and why they'd be happier and/or more likely to stick around if they got the job.
