Does anyone understand the point of advertising a game doing something that, after downloading, it does not do?

It seems like if what you're showing is what you understand they find appealing and fun, then surely that's what should be in the game. You give them that.
But instead, you give them something else that is unrelated to what they've seen on the ad? A gem matching candy crush clone they've seen a thousand times?
How is that model working? How is that holding up as a marketing technique???
With the way Android permissions are setup, anything after version 11 shouldn't really have access to much of your data unless you specifically give it access
Which most tech illiterate people will happily do.
Ouch, didn't think of that part. Yeah, that's worrying
I think there is a huge amount of people technologically "disadvantaged" enough to install these apps, give them the rights and then find the App "not worth it" but forget to or simply don't know how to uninstall them.
Saw it with relatives who had hundreds of unused Apps on their phone (aka managed to fill an Galaxy to the brim with these Apps) and a company I once worked with by accident once pushed an App version of their (legitimate) App that required literally all rights Android could request - more than 40% of all users did give them these rights within a day. (Normally the app didn't require any rights at all).
