I don't have a clear answer to that. @arsenm first introduced this concept to LLVM at least 8 years ago. I agree that the only two targets that have this concept are AMDGPU and NVPTX, and they both set it to address space 0. My understanding is, LLVM doesn't force any other characteristics to address 0 in addition to just making it as the default one if there is no other specified for the allocation of certain variables, so we can't assert or assume how a target needs to implement it.
