GrapheneOS adds a Sensors permission toggle and we plan to extend it with the same features available for Camera and Microphone.

Very few apps need access to the sensors.

The Sensors Off quick tile from developer options has some strange quirks and doesn't necessarily work the way you actually expect. It's still in developer options for a reason.

It is still in developer options, because less technical users turn that option on and forget about it. Later they find out that certain apps don't work properly anymore and then don't know how to fix it.
