Sure. But will they? Show us examples of existing functions
(preferably already in Emacs) that would benefit from this change.
An easy example would be functions which look like
;; some code here
(forward-paragraph count)
(foo (point) other args)
;; more code
But it's not clear to me that
;; some code here
(foo (forward-paragraph count) other args)
;; more code
is going to be more readable without seeing examples. Since point has
a byte code, it's not particularly costly to use point.
