No, the selling point is that the user is in control (or at least gets more control than on other platforms). Clear and visible permissions are a part of that.
To follow up - the OP shows that the permissions are far from clear and visible.
Would people reasonably expect that the contents of their SD card and a list of all their purchases could be silently uploaded by an app they'd given no permissions to?
If not, this is clearly not delivering control to the user.
