Sorry for my stupid question.
Just as an example in this regard, won't you think giving an app
permission to use Internet is also security concern as app may
download data in background? My concern is just why app is not allowed
to write Secure Settings if the user who buys the device is willing to
give permission to that app on his own risk?
