The answer may not be simple but by listing what the app wants to do gives you the choice of using that app or not.
There is a reason why you are not able to pick and chose what parts of the app you want to use. All apps are built as complete units requiring all the parts to work together for the app to work as the developer intended. If you were able to pick and chose just the bits you wanted it most probably wouldn't work or, if it did, it would crack at unexpected times.
In the light of the above, it has to be an all or nothing approach to granting permissions for apps.
