Not to knock on the industry at large but the day I gave up wanting to program "services" (for the lack of a better term -- things that work the data to produce an outcome that although convenient, is not a necessity of our lives)

Possibly tiers of permissions then? I know apps I've written will not work without a network connection: they're useless without it so to put that as a "required" feature is necessary. However, I do like ease-of-use feat
