I dislike that as a developer, knowing something like the headphone status could be useful for the functionality of the app. But some other unscrupulous person is just exfiltrating it! This is part of the reason I agree with Apple’s stand against apps with sub-apps/“desktop like” due to not fine-grained enough permission settings. There is a significant privacy downside to “superapps” and now Elon is pushing for the X everything app.
Yeah and if you ask for permission for every little thing then users are going to get bombarded even when it's needed for legit purposes. It's a difficult tradeoff to make, even if you want to do the right thing (and I'm not really sure that Apple and especially Google really do)
