It's very possible they have good reason to do so. Phone app needs contact access to display CallerID and Microphone access to allow me to answer my call

This got flagged because you have not proven anything.

System Level Daemons and preinstall Apple developed applications are bypassing standard app level permissions. Are they doing anything nefarious with the data like sending it all to Apple or just using it to do the work people expect? You are running around acting like SystemD is doing nefarious stuff because it's bypass file permissions. Ok, it's a system daemon, not shocked, is it doing anything bad with that or just trying to make my system work out of the box as I expect.

Apple makes OS on the iPhone, they are in privileged spot.
