iOS requires explicit permission to grant access to gyroscope info: I tried this page right now in Mobile Safari 16 and got a prompt:

I think (though am uncertain) that it’s similar for App Store apps too.

I am aware, yes.

My assumption about an SDK like that is that it's getting that access through some assumed mean(s) that the user just clicks past without thinking.

Very interesting, on Android it's granted by default in both Firefox and Chrome.
