Re: [w3c/gamepad] Restrict getGamepads() to [SecureContext] (#113)

The API has been shown to be used for fingerprinting whenever possible, so a third-party can (and do!) inject a scripts to poke at the Gamepad API. Having secure context mitigates some of this privacy annoyance. 

Also, future versions of the gamepad API could allow communicating more directly with a gamepad... that will require secure contexts.
