We in Mozilla plan to lift this restriction for the sake of web compatibility. We figured that having this restriction does not fulfill the original intention of preventing fingerprinting, as [basically everything in 2024 is in HTTPS](https://transparencyreport.google.com/https/overview?hl=en) (🎉).

@marcoscaceres and @nondebug, I see both [WebKit](https://searchfox.org/wubkat/rev/eb1d01ca7f489dc74c38dd9af08420cd70d52b43/Source/WebCore/Modules/gamepad/NavigatorGamepad.cpp#86-92) and [Blink](https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:third_party/blink/renderer/modules/gamepad/navigator_gamepad.cc;l=131-147;drc=60e39e7dbe956ab78ef3745981cc05e16683d934) still have the warnings. Do you agree that we should lift this?
