It might be an android thing. In iOS you can ask when you need it, and still use the app if you say no. I've gotten the impression that Android asks everything up front at installation time and doesn't install if you say no, but I'm not an android user/dev so I don't know for sure.

That used to be true but the permissions model changed to just-in-time a couple versions ago.
