The joy of mobile apps, pulling as much permissions as possible during install, and abusing of them whenever you run them. When I see this the debate between native apps and web apps is over, and it does not end with native apps winning.

You're acting like most people care about permissions. 99% of users just click through everything.

the joy of Android Mobile apps. I dislike Apple for many reasons, but the permission model on iOS is a lot saner than on Android.
You still end up giving away your privacy just the same. I'm not sure how that's different.
