"You never get nagged to take $5 out of your wallet to hand to an untrusted person"

I suppose, you never have been to a significantly poorer country? (outside of the protected tourist areas).

Or well, spend time with kids, who really want something.

Begging can get very intense.

And about file permissions, well - are you aware, what kind of permissions the standard free app on the google play store will ask of people? And yes, I won't use them. But I use WhatsApp. Did not wanted to give permission to read contacts, or wide file access. But denying it, means it is allmost unusable, so I also eventually gave in ..



That's not capabilities... your light doesn't ask for permission to get power.

The clerk at the store doesn't ask for permission to take your payment.
