But this is what it is currently. At the moment, not only is it a toggle, but unlike almost all other permissions, you can't just request the permission.

You have to send the user to the system settings pane for it and have them manually toggle it on there.

It's hard to imagine how it could be more explicit than it is currently. I imagine they have something draconian planned.
