Even when you have granular permissions, though, it just means the negative UX of having to click "no" every three minutes because some jackass at Adobe is convinced you really want to be told RIGHT NOW about every single product they make (or whatever).

The authorisation prompt doesn't show up once you denied. Which makes sense to avoid user fatigue, but is annoying when users denied it the first time (aka "go away stupid modal dialog") and now complain about things working (or not) as designed. At some point operating systems and browsers will have to run a simulation to provide realistic fake responses from denied subsystems if application developers get even more brazen violating user interests and maybe even *locally* analyse API call patterns for abuse with the option of sending a trace to make a claim against the developer with the application distribution channel. Oh you added a bunch of criminal spyware libraries praying on your paying users? Guess that's a push notification to your whole install base offering them a refund and a ban on further sales until you've paid up. Except no existing player wields that much power and can be trusted to use it wisely. sigh
