You do realize your contradicting yourself right?
Honestly, young wide-eyed new-grad me (which I bet is your target hiring demographic) would have totally bought into your baloney of "making the world a better place through minimal message oriented transport layers"[1], but as a gray beard I'd really be happy to be filtered out of your resume screening, as it reeks of cargo cult BS. I'm paid to do a job, not to join a cult and make that my life and working identity.
I apreciate your honesty though and I hope more companies do this so I can easily avoid them and save us both the time.
It might be about confusing passion for the company with passion for the type of work that is part of what the company needs to be carried out as one and the same.
If those things were clearly separated in the attitude of companies when looking to hire maybe people would be more willing to help both the company and in turn themselves succeed.
Otherwise, it's a bit like professing your unconditioned love before you know what you've bargained for, and that seems backwards.
