Media Queries 4 Interaction Media Features ... any opinion

Related to our discussions around multiple input mechanisms, and 
ensuring that users are able to switch between them...wondering if 
anybody on here has any particularly strong opinion that they'd like to 
contribute to this discussion?

https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/690

The quick context here: current MQ4 spec has a hard distinction between 
whatever the operating system/user agent decides is the "primary" input, 
and explicitly treats any other input types as "rare" (using that actual 
word in the spec), and that authors may wish to take those into 
consideration as nice-to-haves.

I contend that this distinction is fundamentally flawed and 
patronising...but would love to hear additional voices in this 
discussion (which I've had previously with the CSS WG)
