I agree. Mostly because they're asking for all of those permissions prematurely.

What if I never want to share my location, take pictures, or send files?

And then some things, like calendar access, aren't even used right now.

Don't use these features and / or disable the corresponding permissions.

I get that. I'm just saying that it wouldn't look as bad if they just didn't ask for the permissions upfront.

If I'm about to take a picture for the first time using it then I'll understand it asking for camera access.
