Yes, there are such use cases, but until now they've been sufficiently
rare that we don't have enough experience to know what alternative might
be useful.  There's only one exception: for buffer-local hooks, we have
now refined the permanent-local property so it can apply to specific
entries on a hook rather than the hook as a whole.
