Would it have helped in this case? Permissions should convey the privacy risk to the user, not just the technical details of what's happening. To a non-technical user, "Access nearby Wifi signals" (or something similar) sounds totally innocuous. Most people would approve that assuming that the app just wants to connect to the internet. You could get more detailed and say "Access nearby Wifi signals, which could reveal your location", which conveys the privacy risk. But to the average user, "access nearby wifi signals" isn't adding anything - the only real privacy risk is that location is revealed, so it just makes sense to convey it as your location. There's other cases where I think there's a better case for finer-grained permissions - some apps ask for phone call permission just so they can know whether you're a call or not - arguably something that should hardly require permission at all, but it's lumped in with one of the more scary sounding ones.
