Depending on the environment, the IP address may be more changeable than the hostname. Definitely, in a DHCP or dialup environment, you can't rely on the IP address at any time other than during the session. There is little (if any) benefit in logging the IP address instead of the hostname.
I agree, environments are different. So may be it makes no sense to change hostname with IP. It was just an idea.
But fact is, we lost 'w -n' semantic. And it should be fixed. BTW, UT_HOSTSIZE=16 is too short in my opinion.
