Are you seriously suggesting that, returning e.g. integer values for `deviceorientation` is going to allow an attacker to identify a single device/user from a database of four billion smartphone devices? 

Everything being discussed is a shade of that argument that there is, almost certainly, a level of default access available that provides enough privacy and security protections while not completely disabling current uses.
