If you extrapolate down the fine-grained-permissions line, you eventually end up with effectively a legal system where the rules are encoded explicitly (and enforced programmatically) but the spirit-vs-letter of the law is left to interpretation by a judge (the reviewer in this case).

That's probably better than the scenario we have right now. Such a system of smaller permissions would be an improvement over every extension asking for all permissions and being able to do what they want with your browser.
