How is it immoral? Is Google morally obligated to provide you with a way to use their service for free? Google wants YouTube to start making money, and I’d guess the alternative is no more YouTube.

Nope, but it is legally required to ask for permission to look into my device for data that it does not need to provide the serice.

Of course Google could make money, it just need to make them without violating the laws.
