You read a lot of comments about permissions in Android Market, which 1) shows that people are really aware of this, which is good, but 2) also probably means that a lot of people would manually deactivate permissions if they could.

But yeah, you do have a point and I cannot back up my gut feeling with data. When it comes to security, I'd rather keep it simple and sacrifice configurability for simplicity.
