Yes, that sounds like extremely valuable feedback.

Why do you suppose asking a question like that shows narcissism? To me it shows a willingness to infest feedback to improve.

I will add the caveat that if someone asked me that in an interview I would likely give a non-answer because I’m not totally sure what all I’m even allowed to say.

Not everyone will take feedback the same. It's not worth the reputational risk.
