Why not? How is this different than, say, location access, or microphone access?
I want to be able to configure this per web site, and a permission prompt is a better interface than having an allow/deny list hidden in settings.

Today there's no way to disable it, I searched through my Firefox Mobile settings. So I'd say it's for very "power" users.
And why enable it by default, why not disable by default?
Also, sibling comments say iOS is already asking for the permission, why not just copy it?
