Well, with Marshmallow, they have no excuse. The permission model is now very similar to iOS's one and any app can start with 0 critical permissions (basically anything related to personal info) and ask the permissions at runtime.
For either Android or iOS, you still have to trust that an app won't abuse the permissions you give it though.
