I only had (and have) one openvpn service, so the issue didn't arise.

I assume anyone running more than one openvpn service
(a tiny minority, I imagine)
would realise they had to take steps to deal with this.

Basically, I don't like to change the default system
more than is absolutely necessary,
as I have little confidence in my ability to understand the implications.
