They ask that kind of question to test your ethics. Some people end up answering questionable things.

But honestly, when I google the question, there are all kind of reasoning and example. In the end, I could not understand what is the meaning of the question.

But maybe you could point out to a good reference I could read to?

I really liked this course about interviews, they teach you how to talk and what they really mean when they asked something: udemy.com/course/software-engineer...

In general, I believe that, that kind of question have a purposed to make you speak more so they can know more about you. This is completely my interpretation but I think it works like Rorschach test that psychologist use to know more about the personality of people. The images by its own doesn't mean anything is the subject under study that give them meaning. I believe it is the same thing with that kind question they want to know the real you.
