Quit it with the "most users" reasoning, unless your goal in life is to part fools from their money.
I don't follow your reasoning, but still:
Listing granular permissions is like throwing up a confirmation dialog before a destructive action: better than nothing, but more often than not gets ignored.
Yes, after that, your friends call wondering why all their data was deleted or why some app is updating their facebook wall. And you tell them to pay attention next time, and they swear they will.
And they don't.
I don't have a better solution, but that doesn't mean that this is the right one.
It doesn't matter if "most users" don't care about this level of information as long as they still click "allow", but it does make difference to the minority that do care. So what's the harm?
If they don't care about the information then it's presence doesn't hurt them.
