“ They are considering blocking permission requests in certain scenarios only.”

Which is against the web standard, my point exactly.

“ As a general principle, prompting for permissions should be done based on user interaction”

Not a web standard, only an opinion. Web standards should not be up to to interpretation of an ever-changing opinion of individual browsers, they should be something to rely on.

But web standards can be incomplete and have flaws. In that case, the standard needs to be changed, and browsers updating their implementations is just a part of this process.
