I had a screening call where the recruiter asked me why I am looking, and I gave the safe answer. Growth. New challenge. Broader exposure. The real answer is I want to feel excited again. Why is it harder to say that out loud?

I think it is hard to say out loud because we don't want our answer to be frowned upon. Then they would probably ask what happens in a couple of years when this role no longer excites you. It is better to give them the answer you think they want to hear.
