I typically interpret that question the same way you do. I guess it depends on the context and tone though.

I had a friend that would often ask strangers at a party, "Why are you here?". I always enjoyed that one because the interpretation alone can tell you so much about a person. Do you answer to Why are you here at this party? Why are you here in this city, continent, universe, time? For someone like me a question like that can get existential pretty quick.

I like "Why are you here?" I feel like people would try to brush it off but I'll give it a try anyway.
