XBMC remote needs that because it has a "show your texts on the TV" feature which you really, really shouldn't turn on. Trust me. It's a shame that you can't pick and choose, as a user, because they can't remove that permission without breaking that feature for everyone [who?] that uses it. It's open-source though, so the good news is you could remove that permission and feature yourself if you really want it (you should: it's pretty nifty).
