“If you got offered the job would you take it?”

Has anyone had this interview question? I was so taken aback that I felt awkward and just laughed before I could answer (which probably messed up my chance of getting the job). I feel like maybe they asked because they were interested at least a little in hiring me but looking back I think they expected me to just straight up say yes. There's so many things though to take into account before accepting a job offer: how much the pay is, what the benefits or working conditions are like, if you have to relocate and if you can relocate by the time they want and how to manage that etc. I feel bad for messing up this job opportunity but also I can't believe they asked this. I can't really ask if they would hire me in an interview so why this question?
