It’s fine to have quirks. And yes that is largely a quirk. And it’s fine for others to decide that’s it’s more trouble than they want to deal with. I would probably be one of those people-/absent compelling reasons.

Of course. If a company wants to be quirky, that is their choice to make.

Agreed. A job isn't usually all that compelling – there are jobs everywhere – but for the right business deal you can look past certain things.
But if they think they need someone who has a secret desire to man a ship or be a touring musician – cool. A good fit isn't a good fit.
