Thanks for this, just had a kind of struggle recently
How frequent do I buy a new device shouldn't be a reason for onboarding to be such a hassle.
Of course location is a good exemple of permissions you don't want to give to every app, but I gave example of apps asking for obvious permissions.
Camera app (Still love this example, sorry) ask access for camera, and oh storage... really? Both of them are really obvious. I don't know anyone using camera just to see the preview, but maybe.
Setting up a new phone or tablet is like dismissing 99 dialogs every time.
I indeed hope in the future there will be a better balance between user experience and user privacy.
But to be honest I'm not a pre-compiler advocate.
Javascript is a beautiful language once you stop blaming it for what it wasn't designed for. I feel that pre-compilers just divide the community up and unfortunately I've seen people going for CoffeeScript for example without even trying to grasp the subtleties of Vanilla JS.
