This helps with encouraging HTTPS adoption, but it does not solve the
underlying issue one bit. Secure contexts do not make a feature
secure. Secure contexts are a good defense-in-depth strategy and we'll
soon go all-in for new features, but they do not (and will never)
address fingerprinting or tracking issues.

I don't see how this helps WebVR given that Chrome throttles these
APIs to address the security issues and if they're throttled they
reportedly become much less useful for WebVR. (I mentioned this in the
W3C TAG review you referenced and have thus far not received a reply
alleviating these concerns.)
