Android doesn't give you the full story. "This app wants access to your contacts" could mean it needs 1 thing in the contacts (1 permission) or it scrapes everything from all your contacts (>10 permissions). This is the kind of thing that social networks like Tik Tok do to get so much data, and they get to hide all of it behind one "Click allow" pop up.

I always figured if any given app wants my contacts it'd scrape and upload them somewhere so I always say no, but I see the use case now
