I made a similar suggestion in a somewhat related topic concerning browsers and was told this is bad UX so it shouldn't be done. Informing people of what's going on and giving them power over their choices is bad UX. Somehow.
UX people can't seem to agree on much of anything. On environments where permissions must be explicitly granted (like iOS), I've seen articles saying to go both ways: "ask for everything right at the start", and "ask immediately before use".

It's almost as if "UX people" isn't referring to "UX person." Go to Stack Overflow and the vast majority of questions have multiple answers, as if "programmer people" can't agree on much of anything.
