2011? I can't recall that far back with FB app perms, but I do remember working on a few projects in ... 2013 IIRC? And one of the pieces of feedback I got the most from people I'd asked to test was "why do you need all these permissions?" They weren't all an overly tech-geek crowd, but many seemed to question it.
"I can't not ask for these permissions - even just for a basic login - facebook forces this information to be available to my systems. I'm not using it for anything, and I don't take much of the information I'm given, but to connect via Facebook, they require me to have access to this information". That became my standard-ish response, and it wasn't that surprising why many people got miffed, especially if I was just doing basic "login with facebook" stuff.
IIRC, FB has changed the minimum permissions a couple of times in the last several years (or, at least it's seemed like it - maybe names or presentation of the info has changed?)
