Hopefully, that would be unnecessary. If my calculator app won't run without full access to my address book, I'll seek out an alternative calculator which will; at this extreme, with an open marketplace, there will surely be alternatives.

Famous last words. Take a look at the Android store, it's a wasteland of adware-ridden crap.

Alright, time to take a stand.

If you can't find a calculator app that doesn't require your contacts/GPS, I will personally build one.

Be the change!
