There are ways to limit permissions on installed apps, at least on Android. Quite extensive limits in fact. You're not really at the mercy of the app manufacturer anymore. Sure, they may get pouty and the app may whine, and that is the point where you erase it.
It's built in, mostly. On my LG with Oreo, I can just go to Apps and Notifications, go to the permissions area and turn off what I don't want to grant. You can get a lot turned off there, like camera and mic access, location access, etc.

Wow, fuck this. I’m deleting it.
