Apple wont give gyro data but firefox will, firefox wont give battery data but chrome will. Everyone gives screen size and density data.
Why are these data points not discussed with privacy?

I don’t have a good answer, but I wonder the same and about the technical reasons why, if some websites require such data, the browser can’t just lie and touch up rendering in post to fit whatever unique window size I have. AFAIK, uBlock already does some of its own CSS touch-up so there aren’t awkward gaps where ads once were.
Of the browsers I’ve tried out, the Cromite project goes furthest to mitigate and obfuscate the data it hands out, but in their words, it’s still not comprehensive.
Cromite sounds nice. Well, aside the fact users stand out from the rest because of using a exotic browser. But nonetheless that seems like i should give it a try.
