I did an upgrade install, so I assume that's why nothing changed. Time Machine doesn't touch etc so if you do a clean install and try to restore that's probably why its "reset".

Obviously a clean install that doesn't include transferring data (users, settings, etc) from an old system will result in a fresh hosts file as well.
