Yup, and it's also something that all apps can request, and the user is always asked for their preference until they say 'don't ask again'.

There really needs to be an always ask next to don’t ask again.

Why? Unless you check "don't ask again" it will always ask...
Because a single accidental click causes a permanent change.
It’s fine to have a settings page that lets you manage pop ups, but a pop up should always be extremely limited in scope.

Its not a permanent change? You just go into the apps settings and remove the intent.
The vast majority of users are not going to be aware of how to fix the behavior.
At the extreme, ‘connect to this wifi network’ and ‘reset to factory settings’ are obviously at different scales of importance and should have significantly different UI. Similarly open this app, and changing a setting are on different scales. Basically, it’s fine if the pop up takes you to some other UI element to make the change, but pop ups should have consistent importance.
