I know at least Firefox has per-site permissions for location, webcam, and microphone access. Is it a correct interpretation that Safari on iOS does not have this feature?

Their argument was they want the system (iOS) to enforce those permissions, not browsers on behalf of apps they've added.

Ideally there should be both browser-level and OS-level controls. Reduces the chances of things slipping through the cracks and it limits the blast radius in case a browser vendor can’t get a hole patched up quickly for some reason.
