The change is trivial, and declarations that isn't changed will
continue to work like before.

It's trivial too. I just think it will lead to surprising behaviour,
currently defcustom is pretty much equivalent to to defvar, and :type
just specify the UI, not the semantics. With the change, changing the
UI will also modify the semantics.
Not all hooks use :type 'hook (sometimes we know something that allows
us to user a better UI), and I even think I have used :type 'hook for
something that wasn't a hook because I wanted the same UI.
