Yeah honestly I was surprised too... it was a while ago, so I don't recall if I asked for the reason, or if they volunteered it.
Like I said, I personally see it as dodging a bullet. I probably didn't want to work in that kind of environment anyway. But there may be other people with different situations than mine who would've been rightly miffed by it.
I'm pretty privileged as things go, so I tend to not complain a lot about ageism and discrimination based on family status because there are a lot of folks who have it far worse than I do (even though I recognize it as a legit problem and feel like I've seen it firsthand). This company sorta tipped their hand without saying anything illegal.
