I'll throw in another place where permissions aren't nearly granular enough - online file storage (Dropbox, Onedrive, Box.com, etc.). Perhaps I'd like to allow an app to save information for cross-platform use or just because I want it on my own personal cloud storage - 1Password's older versions are a great example of this. I haven't looked at it recently, but I'm not aware of any changes that add that level of granularity to the APIs.
What throws me is that I'd expect security conscious developers to be clamoring for this. If I'm writing an app that should store data for users on the user's own accounts, it's not "I do not want to have access to everything" it's "I do want to NOT have access to everything."
