If I wasn't clear, this is what I meant. Users ignore and accept permissions blindly on install.

I'm not suggesting this at all. I'm suggesting that permissions systems, as granulated as they are, only make sense to developers and are mostly ignored by users.
> The problem the parent comment mention isn’t the method of asking for permission, it’s the fact there literally is not a permission.
I agree with the parent comment on this. Some permissions queries should be available on first use, rather than (or in addition to) on install.
