How did you come with that? That's non sequitur.
As far as I know, no country outlaws merely scanning a list of recently ran applications. And article in question only talks about that, not storing, sending or whatever - actually it has completely no idea why Origin's accessing that UserAssist key.
If you insist - please, name me a country where, for example, it would be illegal to locally access (one again, not send anything based on that to a remote processing or storage system, that's another story) your contacts for a piece of software on your phone that had forewarned you it will access your contacts?
There's (almost) no permission systems on desktop, but there are other means to convey that information. Here, I'm considering EULA as not a legally binding piece of text, but as a part of documentation.
