Why should the user see a prompt just because a webpage wants to do some WebGL visualization (that doesn't put any of the user's data at risk)?
Probably because there's no way to say that it "doesn't put any of the user's data at risk". WebGL has been abused for browser fingerprinting which itself puts user's privacy at risk, but it also has a long history of very nasty vulnerabilities and exploits. It's been fully disabled in my browser for years because of the security issues.
