Re: [w3c/gamepad] Please don't restrict to a secure context (#145)

I would like to add my 2 cents to this discussion. We use the gamepad API to control physical, hardware robots that are on a local network, without internet access. Possibly using a mobile device.

With the gamepad API to be https only forces us to create a cloud backend for the robot, which can be used to control the robot from anywhere in the world. This requires the robot to be on a network with internet access, etc. From a security standpoint, this is a step back for us, as well as from an availability and robustness standpoint.

Unfortunately, there is no good solution to provide certificates to devices on a local network that is easy for users and does not require us to install certificates on user devices.
