    You need to remember how Tech illiterate the vast majority of the market is. If someone gets a pop-up asking for an app to have permission that they aren’t even going to read it so they’re going to look for the allow buttons that they can continue trying to use their app.

    They don’t know or care what’s happening and trying to explain it to them generally makes them tune out, no amount of more detailed permission message or anything is going to change that for anyone except people of higher Tech literacy which is the majority of what you’re going to find here on lemmy
