Why are you leaving your current job? Interview question.

How does the community feel about this question I recently went through three rounds of interviews and was asked this question in every interview. It feels like a loaded question. If I'm honest and say the culture is trash, upper management is completely out of touch, hard work is only rewarded verbally, blah, blah,blah… I sound like a complainer and that I will trash my company. If I give a political answer it seems insincere(because it is). What good comes from this question? Obviously if it was sunshine and daisies we wouldn't be talking. I honestly wish it was just transparent and I could say my workplace sucks and have the interviewer be like it sucks here too or that's terrible it's not like that here. If that was the case I could understand this question.
