No, but some apps require this to unlock functionality. I consider it a form of payment, just like apps sucking up data from one's phone being a form of non-financial payment for an app disguised as "free".

I would report such apps. It is firmly in the App Store guidelines that optional permissions (such as permission to track, geolocation, sharing contact lists) cannot result in a program without functionality or in a penalty for users.
