I think we know that it's intentional, because after all these years they haven't improved. Take for example, Apple. They've adopted a bunch of Android first innovations. So, what is stopping Google from adopting Apple's security model? Either they are building it and we should see it soon, or Google doesn't want users to be mindful of their privacy because it puts their own business at risk, so the status quo will remain until a forcing function occurs (eg. user revolt due to malware).
