GraphQL API Bug: "PublishablePublish access denied" write_publications scope not available

When running the mutation publishablePublish, you will get back an error: 

PublishablePublish access denied.
 
This is due to the missing App scope 'write_publications'. In the Shopify App Permissions console, write_publications is not a permission that can be added.
 
due to this limitation, when adding/modifying a product by the GraphQL API, you cannot add the product to channels - all products will need to be manually applied to channels via the shopify admin UI
 
I've seen workarounds on the forums that state to use the deprecated methods - but the deprecated methods do not allow the modification of channels besides "online store"

This is quite frustrating. It seems weird to me that you cannot publish to the channel of the app you are authenticated as.

I second that.

Is there anybody at Shopify listening?

This sounds crazy.
