Most of this is due to androids permissions model. The Google app doesn't have permissions required to do any of those 4 things.

However, it should at least just ask for permission the first time you try to do that.

It can’t be as simple as someone Googling “how to request permissions on Android” – this kind of thing is a product decision. I would assume it’s more due to their promotions culture: are any of those getting demoed on a big screen at I/O?

I don't think it's due to the permissions model. Google Play Services has almost all permissions on your device by default.
