Game controller sensors: should they be enabled by default?

Hi!
The SDL documentation does not tell (or I didn’t find it) whether sensors are disabled or enabled by default when a game controller is opened. I’m working on the Wii/GameCube port of SDL3, and for the time being I have the accelerometers enabled by default, even though this has probably some cost on bluetooth bandwith. If I change the implementation to have them disabled by default, will the existing games cope with this?
Is there a recommendation for platform integrations, whether joysticks should have their sensors enabled or disabled by default?
