"Why are you leaving?" reads like a request for a reason. It is not. It is a risk check, and the interviewer is running three tests at once: will you speak about us this way in nine months, is your dissatisfaction something we would also cause, and do you know what you are moving toward or only what you are running from.
Almost nobody fails this question on facts. They fail it on proportion and direction. Too much time on the old place, not enough on the next one. One sentence of blame that was accurate and still expensive. A vague phrase that means nothing and therefore sounds like cover for something.
You cannot hear those in your own voice, because you know what you meant. So paste it, and read it back with the meaning stripped out.
