This is quite common. Hobbies may suggest to them an attention to detail, working well in a team (sport) or leadership abilities.

Especially in recent graduate positions. I maybe won't make sense if the interviewee was 35 but if they're 21 there's just nothing else to talk about. That said, at least in software, the right answer still includes something about coding or building things.
