Here's what I found in the Longman dictionary:
be dying for something to do something (spoken): to want something very much ( простория ѧ ѧ :
Examples:1 i’m dying for a cup of tea.
2. she was dying to ask where he’d got it.
3 i’m dying to see what it is.
But to die for also means extremely nice, attractive or admirable
she had hair to die for.(She has pretty pretty hair.) )
she was wearing a dress to die for.(The clothes she's wearing are so beautiful.) )
-
Both mean longing. It is often expressed in the tense.
Be dying for with noun after it.
Be dying to do sth longing to do something.

I think so. This should be considered a habitual usage.
Because you think, how ugly it would be if these two phrases could be used in the past tense.
For example, "I loved crazy four when I was a kid."
Translated as i died for four
People will be very strange, hey, aren't you already dead for 4, why are you still talking to me? It's ......Is it ......Did I cross over?
So people are also very particular about auspiciousness and actual situations, and no one will say, "I used to love to die crazy or something," because that would be misunderstood as this person has hung up in the past.
Xiao Xi English must put himself in the shoes of the British, many restrictions, you can't understand at first glance, really use it, you know, it is very awkward not to use it this way. That's the language of sprinkling.
