My Pixel does the colored dot thing as well. It also has the ability to add "Mic access" and "camera access" quick options to the pull down menu to quickly turn the permissions on/off at the OS level. I keep mine off at all times. If I receive an incoming call, I get a popup asking if I want to enable the microphone to answer it.
