I remember some particular apps not liking that one. Basically it exposes the permission that’s otherwise always granted, and if the developers didn’t make a catch all for network errors, the app crashes. Mobile data usage → allow network access favors better in that regard.







In my case it was soundcore’s app (no, openscq30 didn’t work), so it had a need for network access to update the firmware, for example, I just didn’t want to give it at the moment. As for being poorly made, also not exactly: as I’ve mentioned, android gives this permission by default, and it’s reasonable to assume it stays so. Graphene basically “breaks userspace” here.
