Yeah, that struck me as a bit odd too. After all the press over the years, why are people still installing apps that request permissions outside of what is reasonable? I stopped allowing auto-updates of apps a long, long time ago. Every once in a while I manually check the listed available updates and any apps which want more permissions than I already accepted, get left as-is unless the permission relates to new functions and are reasonable. I also keep a separate copy of the relevant APK files so I reinstall the one with the limited permissions I've agreed to, not the newest version that wants much more.
