You have - it's in the apps' settings screen called "Allow background activity".

Searching for "allow background activity", I see Android 8\Oreo has https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1367118-oreo-allow-backgr...

I am on Android 9\Pie, and from an app's settings, clicking 'battery', then clicking 'background restriction', I can choose from 'app can use battery in background' or 'restricted'.

But what I originally asking for control over is running at startup.

For example: go to an app like Lyft's settings, Permissions, then "..." in the top-right, and select "All permissions", finally towards the end of the list of all permissions is "run at startup". What I want is to enable\disable "run at startup".
