Android (from v10 I think?) does that - deferring the request for permission X until it's actually used.

No more giving Camera permission to an app just because it supports sharing photos, which you know you never want to do, or whatever.

(Yes, this was possible beforehand by manually refusing specific permissions after granting all, or vice versa. But it could be unpredictable and cause app crashes etc.)
