The phones I have used for years allow me to deny all Permissions to every App if I wish to.
I never considered that this will be any different with other manufacturers, but I now find that Samsung forces Permissions to many apps.
Currently the "Permission manager" shows that I am forced to give access to "Phone" to 10 apps, Storage to 3 apps, Contacts to 2 apps and Call Logs, Camera, and Location to 1 app each.
This is 24/7 forever, no options for the owner.
Samsung's answer to Google Assistant is Bixby.
Bixby Routines gets perpetual permission for 5 of those, and Bixby Voice gets access to 6.
But actually Samsung has access to more than this, as there are many pre-installed apps which are not listed by the Permission manager for some reason, and some of these also have irrevocable Permissions.
I cannot accept this situation.
