It can't. The permissions UI is rendered by the OS, not by the application. There's no way to hide the option to deny permissions.

Based on your previous reply I thought that the lack of apps that require location was due to Apple’s review process and not the fact that the “Never” button can’t be disabled.

It's both. If your app doesn't work properly when a user taps the "Never" button (which you can't get rid of), Apple rejects it.
