I did not assume anything about the NDA.

The cost of legal review of an NDA is an expense the company should cover in the same way it covers travel expenses associated with an interview.

Not covering it is on the same level as expecting a candidate to foot the cost of airfare, hotels, etc. associated with an interview.

It is no more unreasonable for a candidate to want to protect their interests than for the company to want to protect its own.

Not covering legal fees suggests the company doesn’t see the world that way.

The interview is the honeymoon. This is as good as it will probably get.
