Because, this fundamental premise demonstrates that LLMs can't really think logically like we do and they are far from replacing actual humans, let alone senior software engineers.

So if you took one of the greatest software engineers ever and made it so he was unable to answer this nonsensical and pointless question, he would be a lesser engineer because of it?
The fundamental of software engineering is built on basic logic. If an engineer made a mistake in a basic logical problem, yes, that does make them less of a software engineer. It's the difference between memorization and actual problem solving. What's funny is I'm actually pro-AI when it comes to software engineering, but I'm of the belief that AI will and should complement humans, atleast with the current state of models, not actually try to replace them like all the vibe coders love to exaggerate. In fact, I'm building an AI tool around the whole concept - with humans in the loop, not outside of it.
