This is actually a good thing to have.  I know at least one SoC contains
a paragraph in its hardware spec:

General Purpose Pins (GPP)
Each individual pin can be defined as an input, output, or level interrupt
input. These pins can be used for indications retrieving or for peripherals
control. When not in use, program interface to GPIOs and set GPIOs as output.
