We are planing in the future to have an option to opt-out of permissions for websites. The current complexity of the permissions did make it difficult, but we are on it.

This is not correct and the mapping on these pages have nothing to do with list sync. As stated on the wiki page of list sync, do we use the mal ids provided by anilist/kitsu etc for the mapping.
