Re: [w3c/gamepad] Require secure context for gamepad state and events (#120)

I disagree, requiring user permission is a nuisance to the user.

What would make more sense is a general interface for receiving controller input that doesn't expose device-specific details (similar to how keyboard input is exposed exclusively through `KeyboardEvent`s)

If this is implemented, individual controller/gamepad details could still be accessible behind a permission, similar to `getScreenDetails()`

This seems like the most consistent and privacy-preserving approach, not sure how the rationale behind this PR came to be.
