In fact, it's so standard that there's a bunch of shitty code out there that thinks 127.0.0.1 is the only loopback address.
I'm thinking of a networked Chinese laser cutter that we put on our 10.0.0.0/16 network in the makerspace. It seems to think that 10.0.1.1 and 10.0.2.1 are on different networks. Wouldn't be surprised if it does a similar mistake with loopback addresses.
