This is a complication caused by the way hosted-engine is implemented.

The main use-case for hosted-engine is for "cheap HA" (cheap = no extra
software and no dedicated hardware).

If all you want is a simple management interface for one host, you are
probably better off using virt-manager or something like that.

I think most people using oVirt on a single host do this mainly for
testing/education/etc and (intend to) also use it on a larger setup.
