I think you are failing to understand 2 things.

1. Users will be tricked into giving permissions to apps. There isn't a reason why apps should be able to while in the background before you've even opened them be constantly listening to your mic and then uploading the audio and your location 24/7. That's simply something that Google has chosen to not be something apps should be able to do. And that's okay. It keeps 100% of the users secured against these malicious app.

2. The users are not the only stakeholders. The app developers are too. It's Google's job to make a platform that takes in the needs of both the app developers and the users to create the platform that gives users the most value possible. This is where things like DRM come in. One could say that you are taking power away from the user my creating secure layers that can't be recorded or screenshoted, but on the other hand you are giving content owners more assurance that your platform is safe for them to distribute their content on. This is a compromise between the needs of the user and the needs of the app developer. It's about giving the users the most value possible instead of the most control possible. This is the main reason why Android is the most popular consumer oriented Linux distro. Desktop Linux distros prioritize giving users control over security and user value and it turns out that is not the way to get mass market appeal os it remains niche.
