> [blocking apps] requesting sensitive permissions such as SMS access or accessibility services
These are the permissions most used to impersonate a user. SMS access lets an app log into every service you use and get OTP codes. Accessibility tools lets the app open your banking apps etc. whilst you're sleeping.
Singapore has big issues with identity 'trading' - and there are big signs saying things like "if a stranger offers to buy your phone number from you, and you accept, we will send you to prison for 5 years". Same with bank accounts, credit cards, etc.
Basically, if something is tied to your identity, and you let someone else use it for crime, then they're gonna punish you heavily.
