They blindly click on ACCEPT because Google stupidly lists relatively benign permissions ("network access", "read phone state", "vibrate") where they should be only listing severe ones. And the permissions they do list are often poorly explained.

I would not say that "network access" is a benign permission. Perhaps checking the state of the network is, but not full network access.
