Why any functional group such as -OH is not attached with a sp hybridized carbon?

once u think of sp hybridization, double or triple bond comes into picture, hence if oh is attatched to a c atom carrying an unsaturated bond, it converts to -al group, expelling h atom, moreover oh being an electronegative group favours sp3 hybridization as opposed to the electron rich sp hybridization
