Pokemon Go is a huge security risk

Wait, you revoked access from within google, and then the pokemon app was able to give itself access again without asking for permission?

Yes. I'm not sure if I need to re-log in the app or not though. Maybe if it didn't freeze and I didn't have to re-log then it might have left the access revoked. But it seems that once I re-log the full access goes back into effect.

re-logging in is re-authorization
