I find it unfair that you're downvoted. I mostly agree with you.
However, "don't apply for jobs you don't really care about" is a very 50/50 advice. Right now I have zero money reserves. If I somehow got fired tomorrow, I'll be in the red even after 2 days of unemployment. So sometimes you have to make a hard choice.
That being said, it's good to be open about this after you get your act together months later and decide what to do with your current employer, during a lunch for example.
