Next morning Facebook removes its app from Apple Store and directs users to sideload the app, because it needs those sweet permissions that were denied before.

Why is the OS not blocking those perms regardless of where the install comes from?

I mean knowing Apple they'd probably make it so sideloaded apps break the phone more readily on purpose cause they're assholes and petty like that, but permissions should be handled at the OS level and not the app store level.

Apps outside official app store may force you to enable permissions it does not really need, refusing to work without it.

Apps in official store should work with the permissions approved by the store. The “should” is enforced by the store.
