Re: [sensors] Should we request permission when sensor is not supported by the platform?

Sure (I know how permissions currently work...). As I said, I 
recommend the following order: ask permission, check if a sensor 
exists.

Access to API requires permissions, regardless of there being a 
sensor(s) or not.

Second, and to the point: ask for permission to access the API first, 
otherwise you may end up introducing fingerprinting/profiling issues. 
That's it.
