Oof, those permissions alone scream proprietary spyware. There's no more speculation here, it has officially become enshittified.
that's because that's what happened. Simple mobile tools got bought out by a company known for exactly that: putting ads and spyware in apps
thankfully since its open source, there's already a fork in the works called Fossify
That's why I love open source
