How is the Android way different? We're two major and four minor versions since individual permission request were added.

Android AFAIK shows a large laundry list of permissions you need to accept when you install an app and you can revoke after the fact. While on iOS there is no laundry list to accept and the built in annoyance of permission alerts encourages apps not to do it unless they need it.

Also android takes a while to propagate new versions onto the majority install base :)

You just replied to a post stating that this changed years ago.
