So just like the majority USAian app out there?
Which apps do that? Because I am certain it’s NOT the majority, and very skeptical about any other apps doing that.

Not sure about Apple, on modern Android apps need to ask for each permission when they’re about to use it for the first time.
Google Play will also periodically revoque permissions to apps that haven’t used them for some time.
