I think if you consider the amount of damage Facebook has done to society, it's clear we shouldn't be prioritizing the legitimate use cases for things like contact list access when weighing the negative externalities. Oil, for example, is generally useful for automobiles and transportation. Should we completely ignore the climate consequences of using fuel since it makes getting around convenient? The pros have to be weighed with the cons. The marginal value of saving a couple minutes via functionality like contact list imports, or reading bluetooth data, is not worth the downsides that come with it.
