I can't speak for systemd's PrivateNetwork services, but for the
bubblewrap use-cases that I described elsewhere in the thread (Flatpak,
libgnome-desktop etc.), `bwrap --unshare-net` does bring up the "lo"
interface with address 127.0.0.1 and a route to 127.0.0.0/8 before it
relinquishes its capabilities and execs the sandboxed program.
Presumably this is because it's common for ordinary user-space applications
to assume that they can "talk to themselves" via loopback, even if there is
no external connectivity.
