Look at how many apps require permission to see you contacts. And how many actually need your contacts to function.

That is, again, not require but ask for on iphone. I have zero non-functioning apps on my iphone due to denied access to contacts. Even a chinese bluetooth light controller doesn't dare (while refusing to work on android for the same reason).

You can hate apple/iphone ecosystem all you want, but let's not sneak false claims into how they actually work.

You don’t have WhatsApp then.

I do and deny it access to contacts. Everything works fine.

iOS grants just the contacts you select - including “none” to apps. WhatsApp works fine in that regime.
