I wonder if you phrased it the way the Play store does: This game wants permission to:

  • send SMS messages
  • make calls
  • know your location
  • stalk your family
  • raid your fridge
  • access, read and upload files
  • manage and add contacts
  • cup your balls
  • go through your trash
  • irritate your boss

etc.

Think anyone would install them?

Anyone who says that while wearing pants is a filthy liar.

looks at Disney pluses binding arbitration clause

Yup

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

of course, people don't even look at play store permissions

I suppose they do suffer from the "Known in the state of Cancer to cause California" problem. A bubble level app wants in-app purchases and GPS access.
