Yes, distros want to share the same dictionaries between OOo, Firefox, GNOME,
etc and simply provide a single dictionary package per language rather than have
multiple copies of them about the place.

IMO distros are happy with the support that's there in general. OOo, and e.g.
enchant, have compile time control over where to look, but neither have runtime
control over it. Adding runtime control is desirable for the particular reporter
IIRC because they want to have build a single OOo version that uses system
dictionaries that works on all distros where the "system" dictionaries are in
fairly random locations depending on distro.

Personally I feel that the compile time defaults of
/usr/share/hunspell (picked because that's where the command line tool hunspell
searches first)
/usr/share/hyphen
/usr/share/mythes

are the best locations, and that distros should be instead convinced to move to
those locations instead as a de-facto standard. (though my own uses
/usr/share/myspell instead of /usr/share/hunspell as we picked the default
location hunspell searched for back before it changed to searching in
/usr/share/hunspell before /usr/share/myspell)

If someone wants to implement making them configurable settings inside OOo, I
wouldn't stand in there way, but its not something I have a compelling need to
myself implement given the need to do that all over the rest of the dictionary
using stack in e.g. enchant, firefox and so on
