We need that permission to perform the following on your behalf.

  • The ability to scan (read) the page HTML to determine if it’s fillable. This also tells us where/when to inject the inline menu.

  • The ability to autofill (write) to the site. While performing an autofill, it effectively changes the HTML. When you submit the autofill, it will allow you to authenticate it properly.

This requests are Apples way of ensuring you know what permissions an app/extension has and uses. It's another way they are working to ensure your privacy.
