Interview hiring manager asked my age

Had a job interview a few months ago, and the hiring manager asked how old I was in the middle of the interview. They told me that the entire office is in their early 20’s. Then they asked if I needed insurance, and I said yes (I’m in my late 20’s, unmarried). They said that no one in the office needs insurance because they are all on their parents plans. I thought that was a little weird information to share with me. I’m very confident in my work performance, and I felt like besides that the interview went great. I was able to answer all their questions about how much I know in regards to the job, as I have years of experience. Never heard back from them. I later found out asking for my age is illegal… and I know it’s because they don’t want to pay for insurance
