That's literally the opposite of the concern with permission prompts: all the evidence from years of SSL/TLS certificate errors is that users will blindly grant permission.

This is true -- and it may also be the same for miscellaneous permissions. But that doesn't mean it won't be used as an excuse by the feature developers.

Honestly though, this is just me being bitter at web developers.
