To play devils advocate, is it possible these permissions are just placeholders until the app is actually released?

All you need to do is look at Instagram’s permissions and tracking to know what they collect. It should be roughly the same, if not exactly.

It's the exact same.

They're not permissions, it's a privacy policy. I don't know why OP called them permissions.
