Android Location Permission
From my understanding of the permission structure, access to Bluetooth and WiFi under Andriod version 8 thru 11 and is lumped into the location permission - something that was changed under Android 12 and later. Of course it should never have been put there in the first place, but that isn't the fault of the app developer. For these researchers to state that they have "no idea" why an app that has to use Bluetooth or WiFi to search for devices might request or require location permissions shows a lack of understanding profound enough that it undermines the credibility of the rest of their research.
