I wonder why a permission-based approach wouldn’t be feasible. Most websites don’t need GPU access anyway, so why couldn’t a game or simulation just prompt the user quickly for granting access to the GPU?
I’d say it is feasible, it is more about willingness to implement. My guess is also that many sites will probably request this or intentionally not working or working badly if off, so most people is gonna keep it always on because convenience, if implemented. It’s better than always on by default but not optimal. Letting randos on the internet control your HW is iffy at best.
