You're way off-base with your "criticism" there, Jack.
If anything, Android deserves
praise for being so
transparent about the permissions you are politely asked to grant to apps you choose to install based on your own decision; no app is enforced on you. To think that the same or equivalent iOS apps do not take the same or equivalent permissions on iOS, is incredibly naive. It happens, but you're simply
not told about it on iOS, due to iOS lacking Android's
transparency. Everything you said is, in fact, a big point in
favour of Android, as opposed to iOS.
