Granular control - you may have some premium or subscription usergroups you want to be able to offer more locations to, and regular usergroups you may want to offer minimal locations to display the who is chatting in flashchat box.

Overall, the way usergroup permissions is implemented will give you a lot more control over usergroup gets what, having global settings does not allow for this amount of control and is a lot more limiting. All of my v3.8.x hacks that have usergroup permissions are implemented this way, and all future hacks that implement usergroup permissions will be done in the same way.
