Noticed this in passing and thought I'd observe port 8000 is also reserved and results in strange things if you try to run a server there.
Specifically it lets you run a Flask server there, but something about it means the page doesn't appear correctly.

You can also disable this functionality and therefore free the port by going to:
And unchecking the tickbox.
