Yeah, that's Android Q, which is in Beta and not widely adopted. The vast majority of Android devices are running on OS's that have way less granular permissions.

I appreciate the move in the right direction, but I suspect that Google is reading the tea leaves to see that they've likely got antitrust on the horizon and they need to start laying the groundwork to fight that.

It's almost like my own comment said I wasn't making excuses and pointed out it was a preview release. I don't know why I bother.

Also, I don't understand what Google being in trouble for anti-trust has to do with a bunch of third-party apps and third-party SDKs accessing and selling my information.
