Well with incremental the developer would put what is 'required' into the manifest for install-time prompt and incremental the rest.

You can't expect a developer to allow you to deny any permission, the whole app would be a giant if-statement spaghetti accounting for all of the permission combinations and workarounds.

As a user, I don't care if your app will self-destruct if you don't get access to permissions like "read and send SMSs". I simply don't want a free to play game to scan my SMSs for advertisement purposes.

Even if you failed to guarantee a functional app for people who deny permissions, it would still be an improvement over the current status quo.

Developers manage it for iOS, why can't they do it for android?
