There certainly are people using this behaviour of the loopback address(es) in creative ways on non-OpenBSD systems: https://timkay.com/solo/ Changing it on those systems will likely break various users' scripts in unexpected ways. The script linked above doesn't work in it's original form on OpenBSD precisely because of the different behaviour of the 127/8 subnet.
