I wonder whether smartphone software "helpfully" suggests to adjust privacy settings when it's unable to access information, as some websites do with ad blockers and JS, or desktop and server software does with root access. If so, they'd probably fix that quickly. Funnily, I wasn't able to read the linked post easily with my web browser privacy features (well, noscript) enabled. I think generally it's a bad idea to impose whatever one perceives as "good" on others. And if a user doesn't care and understand what's going on, merely restricting some of the spyware they currently have on an Internet-connected device with private information on it wouldn't even protect privacy much: I think (based on a couple of times I've observed the process on Android smartphones) they had to allow all that access on installation in the first place.
