   The problem is you can set up your phone perfectly, however you wish.   
   As I do...    
      
   And then, after using just one or two of those secretly nefariously   
   not-so-well-behaved apps, it's no longer set up the way you had it set up.   
      
   For example...   
   ... If you use _any_ Google apps, you'll find most are poorly behaved.   
      
   They turn things back on that you had expressly turned off for example.   
      
   If that's fine by you - then there shouldn't be any worries on your part.   
   But it's not fine by me that Google apps secretly change privacy settings.   
      
   Always in favor of less privacy... toward more data collection...   
                    ... so I turn them off ...   
      
   Which is where the easy-to-use efficient one-tap shortcuts come in handy.
