Similar to fowners, I counted 161 usages of fperms though the grep below is not necessarily correct or exhaustive. $ grep -ri fperms .|grep bin|grep usr|wc -l 161 In Chrome OS, the switch to llvm-strip/objcopy broke some things like reboot/shutdown (and more) etc. as this functionality relied on group ownership for the power management tools.
