This exists. Something similar is hardly out of Google's reach.

Think about the experience for a second:

1. An app asks for permission to access my contacts 2. I decline to give permission 3. The app churns for a few seconds, then suddenly returns a list of names that i have never seen before, including fake numbers and addresses (a list of fake names would be too easy to detect as a fake response).

We're probably better off just returning nothing
