This is Apple/Google's fault. It really wouldn't be hard to add a section to settings that very clearly defines which apps have which permissions, and make it easy to turn off permissions for specific apps. Google tried something like this, but backtracked quickly. Instead, they need to double down and kick out any apps that crash if they don't have permissions enabled for specific functions.
