I would assume that the permissions quirk would also be the case for the preloaded non-google bloatware (because all the preload guys are in bed together, as we know), but I've got no data of my own to verify this. The device I chose for testing has the flagship Android One version of 9.x on it, so the OS itself came without any non-ABC preloads.
