People accept permission prompts from apps because they conciously downloaded the app and generally have an idea about the developer and what the app does. If a social media app asks for permission to your photos it's easy to understand why, same with a music streamer wanting to connect to your smart speaker.

A random website someone linked me to wanting to access my local network is a very different case. I'm absolutely not giving network or location or camera or any other sort of access to websites except in very extreme circumstances.
