I've often seen this permission rationalised as "Well apps need to suspend when a call is incoming", but why is ability to know if there is a call the same permissions as knowing every call made and for how long? Facebook may have been "given permission" but as people are discovering, it wasn't really actually given permission. This is why there is such a notion as informed consent, because giving permission isn't always as simple as agreeing to something.
