Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-media-queries-5] should "prefers-reduced-data" be binary or not (#4833)

Research shows me we're on track with a binary toggle. The user is flipping a switch to indicate the preference, just like `prefers-reduced-motion`.

Windows has ways to limit data, but doesn't have a system wide switch for it. Would love to hear if there's plans for it or not. 

Worth noting too that these data saver modes can be toggled much easier than reduced motion, they're accessible from "quick settings" areas of each platform.
