I mean Apple still manages to list all IAPs even those only happen on prompt.

The thing users want isn’t what permissions the app could possibly request, but what permissions are required to use what specific features of the app.

Absolutely! And if the features are at all usable/trial-able or need an in app purchase, and is useless without. I feel tricked so often. Currently I need to install an app and try it before I can have much idea if it does what I need. Reviews are of limited use.

I very much appreciate apps where I can trial or subscribe for a short period for a small price. If they do what I need I always end up buying or not cancelling the sub.

This sounds a little contradictory (too tired to word it better right now) but I hope the general feeling is conveyed.

Users don't want to have to understand a permission model to use an app.
