This, I think, is really the core of it. Talented candidates can be picky about what jobs they apply to because they are in demand; they have looked over a company and found one or more specific reasons to apply. Answers like "I'm looking for a job and this position matches my skills." suggest that the candidate is being unselective, possibly because they are desperate and/or are significantly below average.
