This is the case in rural France as well. They have lieux dits, (named places) that are the name of a house or a conglomerate of houses.

However this isn't compatible with the online ordering/delivery economy, the postmen might know all lieux dits, and their inhabitants , but a delivery driver might not know. Therefore street names and house numbers are being assigned.
