I don't know why any employee is not given a pay rise only until he gets another high paying offer from another company. Suddenly, he also receives an offer equivalent or higher pay from his company to stay back. Here, frequently employees have the question of why his current company is ready to give such a rise which he was never offered earlier.
Reasons for job changes differ from person to person, but most importantly, it is a higher salary/benefits.
Employees are compelled to hop jobs because of the following reasons:
1) Rising expenses and inflation
2) Increase of Dependents - children, their education fees, old parents, their decreasing health, and increasing medicinal costs.
3) Home loan or any other liability, and many more...
Many times a person has to leave a job that he loves just because he is not getting enough compensation, but at the same time, he has to fulfill his family's demands, his own wishes, and secure his future.
Nowadays, it is compulsory for any employee to change at least 5-9 jobs before he gets a stable lifelong job where he can work until he retires. Please do not deny this fact as employees change at least 4-7 jobs on average. I have seen not one but several resumes and profiles on Linkedin.com where employees have worked in 8 companies in 10 years, and by inside information, we get to know that they have joined with a whopping salary package. Are these people called "Job Hoppers"? No, in fact, companies call them people with "A Rich Job Experience."
Yes, it is definitely called a Rich Job Experience because he has proved that:
1) He is versatile and can adjust to anything like shifts, long hours, work on holidays, or any job location.
2) He accepts every challenge, environment, and every situation.
3) He has worked in all different designations throughout.
4) He has been given a good pay rise on every job change by every company, which means he is performing decently well.
5) He is a responsible employee/manager who is the reporting manager for a team of his subordinates.
On the other hand, where there is a loyal employee who has been working for the last 15 years or 25 years in the same company, which might be his 2nd or 3rd job in life, but who only gets a fraction of those who have had several job hops. Employees who remain loyal to the company are punished by not being given enough pay rise even though they get a good designation. Staying in the same company for 3 years means stagnation, and companies think that such employees are not so talented, lazy to do a job change, or have lost their demand, so they do not get any new job.
Clearly, job hoppers only seem to climb the corporate ladder faster and also win in the short term and long term as compared to loyal and stable ones. No wonder why interviewers ask silly questions like "Why do you want a job change."

Employers will never hike the present employee salary because it's quite human nature. You never prefer to go outing in your location especially the same if you get some good suggestions, advice, or guidance from your own family, friends, or relatives. We never even try to hear it; the same applies in the corporate world. They lack trust (confidence) in the present employee because the employers have a rough assumption saying these stay in the same circle. Think ahead, all; we have this attitude.
As you rightly said, the job hoppers get more and more opportunities when compared to the loyal ones because employers see how smart the candidates are, and they look at the candidates to pay them a lump sum on their present salary and say these new joiners are talented compared to the person who gets relieved. They need to compromise themselves and peers stating they are so talented they worked in XYZ Companies and achieved...
Interviewers look for smart replies from the candidates. 90% of candidates change jobs due to salary; the rest due to the boss, company closure, internal politics, or management change. This question is common, and interviewers look for smart answers from the candidates. They are really aware of the present scenario and expect smart answers from the candidates because this answer is foremost important in any interview.
