Why are permissions so damn confusing? I say this as someone who knows why permissions are needed, such as location to find nearby devices. But why must we keep track of “permission X is for thing unrelated to X” in our heads? Now I haven’t tried to make a permissions system for the masses, so I guess I can’t say too much, but it doesn’t seem that difficult.

Because it makes the process harder for app developers who don’t fall in line with Google’s “
Don’tBe Evil” motto, while big corpos can ship the worst possible data harvesting/gambling/crypto scam/etc apps with nothing more than a slap on the wrist.Also why they’re cracking down on non-play store apps.

It’s because people keep finding ways around them and they evolve in nonsensical ways.
