There are some people who love business for the sake of business, and to them it doesn't matter what the business they are doing is. I know of some developers with a similar ethic, as long as they are getting paid to code, which is what they see their job as, then they are happy.
Personally, I can't imagine doing it, and I think it is probably rare in the start-up space.
I would have responded with "I'm the type of person who likes to be engaged in the work I'm doing, able to put myself in the shoes of our customers and figure out how to build the best product for them, so for me, the domain is important because if I want to be in work environment where I feel strongly about the product we're creating and customers we're serving."
