No, this is not the same thing. Most of the time, we will find either the wildcard '*' or an Ip address or a list of IP addresses, which is not what we want in this particular use case. But I agree that there are some use cases where we will find the hostname there, but from my experience, that's not the majority of the use cases. For example, you could use a VIP in listen_addresses, so that you ensure that distant connection will go through that VIP and you'll always end up on the right server even though it might be another physical instance (after switch or failover).
