The intention is to create a practical use case which is more practical. It demonstrates the advantage that makes section group selection and garbage collection orthogonal for group members.  https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2019-11/msg00210.html 

.fnstart creates an associated section (`.ARM.exidx*`) in the section group, while `.cfi_startproc` creates `.eh_frame` outside the group.
