Freedom and computer security are in fundamental opposition. It’s the same basic question as GC vs manual memory management.
The only way to offer safety on a platform is to secure that platform. If Apple disables the API’s which lets apps access users contacts then they can be sure 3rd party iOS stores don’t compromise user’s privacy. If they allow API access and don’t vet stores then guess what that directly means breaches will occur.
PS: If you disagree try and come up with some supporting argument.
