Many apps "require" silly amounts of permissions to the phone before they'll install. Apps' ability to read what's on screen, to be notified of clipboard changes, to listen to sounds; all when not even in the foreground. On my computer, I can easily check what apps and background services are running. Not so easily on a phone.
