Yes, here's a snapshot of permissions used:

Most of the frequently used permissions do not require the use of a
packaged app, but the second most used permission is systemXHR which does.
Apparently most developers are only using this because they created a
packaged app purely for its offline properties, then found they needed
systemXHR to talk to their own server. Which is silly. I hope Service
Workers will help with this situation.

The proportion of apps in the Marketplace which actually need to be
privileged is surprisingly small. Service Workers should hopefully make it
smaller.
