What are the reasons to add and prefer perl over touch? The nanosecond precision [1] would work with touch, but since I can't find "perl utimensat" I'm not sure it would work so easy with perl (without additional modules).

I think that the original motivation for preferring Perl in all cases for FISH if it is available at all was compatibility. We have constantly had problems with FISH scripts not working properly in various settings due to non-POSIXness of available shells and tools, and Perl turned out to be a) very compatible and b) generally faster.
I'm not sure that it's worth reversing the defaults here...
