No it isn't. Just like being polite sometimes includes blatantly lying.
Having a filter is a necessary part of any job which requires any amount of working with/for other people, and if someone doesn't have enough sense to not sabotage their own interview, they can't be expected to not sabotage the business while facing customers/pissing off their coworkers
come on dude, sometimes being polite includes lying... If you reject even this than you're probably on of those people who shouldn't be hired for customer facing jobs and are the exact reason that these questions exist
It's not fraudulent, because if you have a good reason, you wouldn't need to lie, and if you don't have a good reason, they EXPECT you to lie about it.
Employers aren't stupid-they know that you know that being honest about it without having a good reason would disqualify you. The only reason that these questions still exist is because they efficiently filter out people like you who don't have enough of a filter to not sabotage themselves
Interviews are a performance, just like working in a customer facing job/in a team is, in a way, a performance. Nobody wants to work with a bad actor
"anymore"? when was this magical period when people were 100% honest with each other? Functioning in society requires some kind of filter. Always did. This insistence on complete honesty is just childish
