As you get more and more specialized, this starts to change. If my expertise is selling matts for large cranes, then there are like 3 companies that do that. The companies themselves are no special, but your expertise in that area does have a special alignment with what that company wants to do.
Non-specialized positions, again, make this question worthless.
Sure, but if you're a web developer, hell even if you're a senior web developer, the answer is almost always still "I applied to a bunch of places because I can expect more than half of them not to even give me the courtesy of an email, you’re not special, and I like being able to afford paying for food" unless you're applying to somewhere like NASA or something. I was asked this question at my first dev job I ended up getting out of school, and I ended up stumbling through it and said something like it was a good fit because of location and it seemed interesting etc.
