That requires manually adding an ULA range to the lo interface. Having something standardized that will be available by default would make things much easier since you don't have to touch the system configuration from your application. It may be easy enough in a container where you have namespaced root/CAP_NET_ADMIN but you can't always assume that.
127.0.0.0/8 is just there.
