This hasn't been true for a number of years because a few OS (and of course 
dhcpcd) have grown support for RFC 7217.

Now if they all used the same algorithm and secret key then they would have the 
same address. This is currenty only possible using dhcpcd (because it's not OS 
specific) but not OS vendors want to use dhcpcd by default.
