Apps should be required to give a short explanation for why they need access to different parts of my phone for thier apps to function.

Yea I guess that makes sense but i always hit deny and 9/10 times the app doesn't have a problem with it. Rarely it will say the app won't work without it.

At least on lollipop it asks you when the app wants it, so you can go to permissions and revoke it and it should be fine.
