Leave aside, terms and conditions. These days, the Play-Store doesn't even show all the permissions requested by an app! The Internet permission, arguably one of the critical ones, doesn't even register!
I was talking about the prompt itself. It now doesn't show all the permissions [1].
Quoting:
"These days, apps typically access the Internet, so network communication permissions including the “full Internet access” permission have been moved out of the primary permissions screen."
Why is the technical manifest APK implementation relevant to why you don't expect to see it in the store? Google have the APK, it's not like they can't look and tell you what it says.
Because its a shit ton of metadata and it only makes sense to compare permissions when they know what version you already have which the device is better at doing.
