have a look at the app store information and see how many apps want access to camera, microphone, address book etc then ask 

"why does this app need that access when it doesn't use them?"

the answer is simple MONEY

 the developer uses the information to build a profile of you and your contacts then sells it to ad slingers and anyone else who will pay for it

the more personal the data that is collected the more valuable it is to sell

SIMPLE
