But very often it's sloppiness. On Android you can write data just fine without permissions, just not everywhere.
When I encounter an Android App which needs file permissions for no apparent reason I assume malicious intent.
Edited to add: I wrote an Android App which has data import and export. You don't need file permissions for both, at least not on newer Android versions.
