I agree. I don't understand why I can't say "okay, have fun with directory /nakedmolerats" and see what they do with it. The fact an app can essentially coerce you into accepting permissions "for your safety" is something that should be against Plays TOS and met with a swift banhammer. It should also highlight how little control we have over these black boxes, when you grant permission, even for 5 minutes, you have no idea what directories it has accessed, if it's scanning for materials or hashes, sending data to a server etc. People moaned about Apple yet here the same thing could happen just by pressing "accept", the fact it's a banking app means you're more likely to accept. No idea how this is allowed to be honest. This could also be a big problem if you have sensitive material on device and just allow any app to access files.
