As I mentioned in the other post on this subject, Google Play Protect needs to update it's Play Protect Settings.
You can deny all the permissions except for the Phone permission, as it is needed to verify your identity.
This makes me concerned that Google Wallet, does not verify your identity?
Yes, permissions you grant to apps are important to be aware of, but it can get to the point of being ridiculous, and the paranoid & conspiracy driven individuals will likely try to make a big deal about it.
Google Maps for example really only needs your location permission, but if you deny it, Maps won't be useful for navigation.
Look at the permissions that Google Play Services have! It could be reading, listening, looking at everything you do, and everywhere you go. Could possibly even know what your health is like..
