Being hostile to a real question’s answers is also not begging the question.
Begging the question is a logical fallacy where someone is purposefully leaving out info or otherwise twisting things to end at a conclusion that was never properly supported. The point is there is an unsupported conclusion they’re trying to jump to.
Simply asking a question, even one with an obvious or sarcastic answer, is seldom “begging the question”.
Uhhhhh it’s an OPEN question available to people who DO dislike the OS, so no. No just ASKING a question is NOT “begging the question”.
It’s asking a question.

Wait… that link says no comments! Maybe this app is just dumb with crossposts…
The barcode scanner and search bar are not provided by Apple?
I don’t know how to check crossposts in this app.
The background does not look like a browser.
iOS … ok that makes sense for the made for stupid people but… Does the application control the subtext of the permissions request? If location is NOT included in that category, then Apple has made a grave mistake of allowing app makers to openly lie to users…
BTW, a mismatch in permissions could be because the app was made with a common build tool that doesn’t understand (or maybe the app developer themselves failed to understand) that it could request location by itself.
… Or they really are trying to harvest more info than they want to admit… but then I ask … Why is it on Apple’s closed app store if it’s lying to users? (because Apple also doesn’t care. they just want to appear to care)
It’s a telemetry category. What ever OS that is does not do separate permissions, probably not to confuse tech-illiterate users.
Scummy of the OS? No. Stupid? Well, it’s made for stupid people…
The app MIGHT want location just to limit items to what are actually locally available in your area and the like. Though with modern capitalism… Who’s to say how many companies will see that information for no other reason than they want to own you…
“… by the way, we’ve already sold that feature I made up to two customers, so …”
Nah, this is much worse. It’s like any effective con: Make it absurd at face value so the only people you deal with are already selected to be foolish rubes.
Too bad the US is full of foolish rubes… Hopefully not over half, but I’m not holding my breath.
Oh come on, you’ve watched this farce for how long and still ask that question? He’ll be released and immediately pardon himself for anything and everything he can, and literally go to war against the states that still want to hold him accountable.
I remove that abomination every chance I get.
I’m not accusing you. I’m stating a fact that I included myself in… You are indeed a dim bulb in the pack.
You and I don’t have to imagine that, dummy. We’ve already done it.
Who’s entitlement is “this entitlement”? It’s a stupid idea to use pronouns in an opening comment, especially when you’re adding little extra.
Then FOSS is not for you. Stop using it.
You realize most people ONLY wipe when they poop, …right?
I’m sorry, are you FOR regimes that openly commit genocides? Grow the fuck up or pull the mask off.
No, that’s NOT begging the question, that’s just being an ass about actually asking a question.
