IP addresses don't "belong" to interfaces in the general case. It's just a hard problem. In fact there are lots of multi-homed use cases where you want to internally route packets across interfaces without an affirmative mapping of what address is supposed to be used where.

For the specific case of point to point VPNs, there's a rule that makes sense. But that's not part of the network stack per se and there's no way to enforce it generically.
