Also, people not in tech do not generally understand the implication of consent popups.

For example, on multiple instances, my spouse declined "location permissions" an app designed to work with a piece of Bluetooth-connected hardware, and would blame the hardware as being crappy.

"This smart lock app doesn't work."

"You need to enable this permission."

"Why do I need to give the smart lock app location permissions?"

It's not obvious to people that "Bluetooth can be used sneakily by big-enough companies as a makeshift GPS" even if the app needing Bluetooth access doesn't actually need a GPS location.
