I can think of over 1 reason

So is Wikileaks 'compromised' all is Reddit going all Boston bomber again?

I wouldn't care unless I lived somewhere warmer. Energy can not disappear from a closed system and that inefficiency will keep you feet toasty. :)

If you have to do things in a specific way, then you are forced to learn that at the same time as you are learning the technology. Learning just vue on the other hand, is much easier when you can retrofit your existing knowledge into it. Then worry about the 'proper way' later when you have made your first few apps. I already have boatloads of knowledge, and whilst it may not be '2016', it's been good enough for the past 5 years.

React on the other hand, whilst it gets described as 'just the view', but I haven't seen a single tutorial that uses anything other than React/Redux to drive it.

To even get started in React, you need a babel, npm, gulp or webpack, node and a data-store of your choice. On top of this, any of the tutorials you can find from a full-stack perspective get made obsolete within months. This is javascript fatigue, all you have to do is look at this recent article.

It makes me wonder how many 'npm install' developers actually understand what is happening under the hood. This is not worse than the DOM ignorance that jQuery causes IMHO.

Part of it is golden handcuffs, okay income, okay workload. Everything is fine.

Fine isn't interesting though.

Am I understanding that these are the kind of questions that people often memorise?

Quite a lot of this video, was the interviewee following logic, and solving a very solvable problem. It doesn't look like a memorisation exercise to me. It would be so obvious if he already knew the answer.

Although asking for the code seemed a bit redundant, when his solutions could be coded up by anyone following along.

I fired off an application too :). I know so many people have been ripped off by scummy letting agents.

I applied, but it sounds like a laptop is mandatory?

Also kind of left it last minute, because I only just found out about it today at work. oops :p
