I don't know about philosophical reasons ;-), but I don't think chown is very often used. Do you know of a context where it is?
Well, I don't know yet, but if we ever want chown() in pathlib, I think it should be higher-level and accept symbolic uids as well.
If users were allowed to pass `bytes` to pathlib, they would have to be converted to `str` internally anyway. I'd rather people do their own conversion if they need a...
[PEP 383](https://peps.python.org/pep-0383/) is the fundamental reference here.
> I don't follow, sorry - why would they have to be converted to `str`? Because pathlib uses `str` internally.
