Марк Коренберг added the comment:

note, that there are many other usecases for that function, like chattr, chmod g+w, touch and so on.

But I'm personally consider this will bloat python library, since everyone can write it's own cycle over os.walk() in his program.

Also, chown itself is allowed only for superuser (although chgrp is allowed in some cases to generic user), so this is very rare usecase, as I think.
