Permissions creep is rampant in the industry, apps all start with a pretty user friendly set of permissions and over time the ToS/ToUs and permissions get increasingly offensive. The other similar pattern to this is decreasing "SLAs" like how Uber and Lyft are now often misrepresenting the wait time to get a ride (driver is 3 minutes out = at least 7 minutes), and if they had started that way they'd never have gained such widepread adoption in the first place.
