That's not what I mean. I'm not thinking about Play Store security, but Android OS security. Like, your app physically has to ask for permission (or even require the user manually change settings) to do most unsafe things.

Physically? So the dev has to come ask you in person?

It does, you have a full screen scary warning when an app asks for these accessibility permissions. Clearly many people just give it to a random QR code reader app for some reason.
