For god's sake, if a website has to ask for permissions the browser is the "gatekeeper" I guess, and if the browser is made by google then in some sense google is the "gatekeeper", in the same sense in which google is the "gatekeeper" for desktop notifactions. Does this really justify the term "gatekeeping" or speculations about any dark plans of world conquest on google's part? Proposing an API, for which the website will have to ask the user for permission?
