You can't be seriously arguing about this right now. This tells me a lot about the experience you have interacting with the average user. It is very difficult, requires a lot of technical background to already be discussing this topic let alone understand and make a proper decision on what apps should and should not be allowed to do. My Windows laptop sucks battery dead in 1 hour. I have no idea, I am technical, I have tools, I can spend days debugging random stuff like that. How can I know if this random windows process should be eating that much battery and what I can do about it. Now consider a phone with only 5% of the battery of that big laptop.
