Bikes: yes!

^^ they're called rivnuts, and they install with a special pop-rivet-type tool.

First you have to drill the right size holes centered on the tube at the exact right spacing for a bottle cage.

Rivnuts hold pretty good but they can come loose and require replacement, and getting them out can damage the hole/frame. Welded/brazed bottle bosses are superior.
