It's about how you say it though.
If you can manage to not be weird about it, you can turn the concept into corpospeak ans do just fine.
Paraphrasing, because it's partially going to depend on the interviewer. "Your company has the market position to offer a pay scale that matches my quality as an employee" can end up nailing an interview.
Saying "I don't care where I work as long as I get paid", less so.
I would never want to work at a place where I have to talk like this unironically. It's ridiculous.
If you are competent, you show it directly. No need to hide behind bullshit buzzwords.
Well, at least that's my reverse filter for companies.
My current team leader interviewed me in a band shirt and we deep dived into realistic brainstorming for how I would approach real problems and we instantly vibed.
I immediately knew that's a good place.
