The reason, if I recall, was that during testing of the routing management changes, I discovered that the refactoring of dependencies changed boot order of services, and exposed a bug in network/physical's dependencies.
The bug was that dhcpagent - launched by network/physical's instances, both default and nwam - requires loopback interfaces for IPC. Otherwise DHCP acquisition fails. Prior to the routing management changes, we were just lucky this didn't hit us. I addressed this as part of CR6312914.
