What? This is completely false. I don't know what other manufacturers are doing but Google on stock android and on Pixel does mandate asking for permissions. Even Google's own apps ask for them. If your Pixel is stolen you have remote wipe options and newer Pixels contain Titan M chips that disallow tampering to gain access.
