It struck me as odd, too, but then I realized I didn't know the cultural background of interviewer or interviewee and maybe it was a welcome, completely normal question. It's useful to keep your own dispositions in mind when analyzing someone else's conversation.

Not valid, since question comes preloaded with an assumption language designers start a lot earlier ("so late").

That's a fair point. I hadn't looked at it that way.

maybe. perhaps they're referring to his long career and curious about what motivated him at that point to pursue the project versus times previous.

When you put it that way, could be that as well. Bad interviewer is bad, I guess.
