I'm confident that you would not consider it so easy if you had ever meaningfully engaged with this problem. The simple fact is no one has cracked the nut yet, and not for lack of trying. Either it it is hard, or everyone who has worked on mobile device capability systems is evil or incompetent. I think the former is more likely.
Ok but then I really don’t want to read any more crap article about why Apple is lagging behind because their approach to privacy is restraining them to harness the full power of machine learning bla-bla-bla
It is fine to want things. These articles are as well founded as those that complain about the way Android does permissions. In that, they inform us about the spectrum of possible preferences among users. But inevitably every user considers only their use case, not how fixing it might break other use cases.
Are you claiming that there is no dep tree to be made? That's trivially false if so. Feeding apps fake data (for example to make them work with no data perms) has been suggested too many times to count.
Did you mean to respond to some other comment? In this thread, we are talking about cell phone permission systems. We are not talking about a "service," and the system in question is not something one buys or gets for free on its own.
