Is Give X Y an idiom?
SC Guide (Chapter 9) states as follows: -
RIGHT: The academy gave senior cadets DANCING PRIVILEGES
SUSPECT: The academy gave senior cadets THE PRIVILEGES OF DANCING
WRONG: The academy gave senior cadets THE PRIVILEGES TO DANCE
Experts, please explain! (Is it because give xy an idiom or because of some other reasons?)

Give X Y is definitely okay. The correct example you quote does exactly that..
