When has the /etc/hosts file ever given anything an IP address?

You are correct, and I am completely wrong. A static address for the computer would be set by editing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno1 (or whatever) or using the network config gui to do the same thing.

Huh?

 From man hosts:

That's not *giving* anything an IP address. It's assigning a name for the local host to be able to *lookup* an IP address.
