> Why should a calculator (for example) know if there is incoming call?

Because it's running on a phone.

Remember those cool requestAnimationFrame side-channel timing attacks. I think it'd be pretty hard to hide at least certain things like these from an app if it really wanted to know. In this case I think it's pretty fair to just give it an API call for it.
