Screen orientation lock has been available in Android for 6 years. This is useful for going to landscape mode when going to html video fullscreen or WebXR session / canvas. 

With the impending support WebXR, I believe lock api is useful and of use. Will this be implemented ? I have had to build a css orientation hack fallback in a screen lock helper method. It works tilting content in portrait mode but native would be better.

The support check, Safari has orientation but no lock method.
