Perhaps I misunderstood this, but I thought the point was that we could make the actual `::interest-button` pseudo (the developer controllable one) have a UA rule like:

```css
display: if(media(showing_interest_is_easy): none; else: inline-block);
```

where the `showing_interest_is_easy` media query matches for input devices where a) there's a native way to hover, **or** b) the platform/OS provides some other way to easily trigger interest via other means. If the only means to trigger interest is the long-press context menu, this media query wouldn't match.

Then, on a VisionPro that supports showing a special privacy-preserving browser-side floating button, that media query would not match, and the developer-accessible `::interest-button` would  not show up. The VisionPro could even detect that the `::interest-button` pseudo was being explicitly rendered (by developer choice), and suppress its own button.
