Because granting a permission may depend on the context?

For example, I may want to allow a photo application to use my GPS to tag a
picture when I'm in some public place, but not when I take a picture when I'm at
home.

Granting a permission shouldn't mean I grant it forever, unless I decide it
should be forever...having both "Just this once" and "Always" buttons satisfies
my use case.
