Im not disagreeing that the level of privlage escelation is insane and beyond the pale, it is. I am merely pointing out that singling out one app for requesting this promission when thus has become the industry standard is, at best uninformed and at worst feels like your trying to hide something

Honestly I had no idea this was an industry standard, this is the only app I've seen in the past 10 years which requested such a permission. The last one was "Siri" for Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread off Android Market, and it stole 15 RUB from me.
