SC TEXT:

"Content is not locked to a specific display orientation<https://rawgit.com/w3c/wcag21/orientation_ISSUE-70/guidelines/terms/21/display-orientation.html>, and functionality of the content is operable in all display orientations, except where display orientation is essential<https://rawgit.com/w3c/wcag21/orientation_ISSUE-70/guidelines/terms/21/essential.html> for use of the content."

Survey results: https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/MATF_orientation/
