Hi Mikhail, Without any context from the rest of the conversation, I cannot say for sure. Usually this is a type of rhetorical question, one that is not meant to be answered aloud. It is sometimes a response to an obvious statement. You can imagine something saying something like: Person 1: "I don't think he will be a distraction for the class." Person 2: "Of course not, why would he be?" (it's obvious he will not distract anyone) Person 1: "It's probably not going to snow during the summer." Persona 2: "Obviously not. Why would it?" *By itself, the phrase "Would I/you/she be ___ (a doctor, outside, happy, etc.)?" is a verb construction we use in English to ask a hypothetical question, a situation has not happened yet but could happen. Hope this helps. Good luck.
