My big one is that they need to stop asking why I applied for their company. The real answer is I want a new job, and I blasted out a hundred applications. I didn’t choose your company specifically.

I’ve never understood how the hell is one supposed to answer to that question without just making stuff up. None of us are psychics to be able to see the future or none of us have an access to a supercomputer to simulate life to even guess whats going to happen to us in 5 years.
It’s an impossible question to answer without just making stuff up.
It’s not about prediction, it’s about desires, interests, and goals

i suspect that future question is to gauge the applicant, if they are going to just ditch the company within a year or less.
The interviewer wants to know what your ambitions are. You’re supposed to make stuff up, so they get an idea what want your career path to be like.
Fair and being passionate about not dying of hunger or living on the street aren’t aren’t going to suffice?
That would depend on the job and the interviewer.
You should realize that that is a passion you share with pretty much everyone, including the interviewer.
In order to achieve that dream the interviewer wishes to keep their job and thus select the best candidate possible. If you can’t come up with anything that sets you apart from the crowd, chances are that’s not you.
