That would be horrible for normal developers.

People would use it all the time, and then complain that the app doesn't work.

The actual problem is the "all or nothing" security model that needs to be replaced with contextual permissions (like "This app wants to access your photos right now. Allow?", see iOS).

The "all or nothing" model defeats its own purpose by effectively leaving no choice for the user.
