I can do the maths. We're not talking about the precision of a measurement tool here but mostly a mediocre input controller for asphalt racing, which I assume is barely noticeable for people playing a game on their couch.

Unfortunately, your narrow view of the use of the sensors in a smartphone isn't indicative of their actual widespread use in many applications hobby and commercial. Heck I remember reading recently about some of the Syrian "rebels" using an iPad to aim mortars. (Note my example isn't something I'd entertain personally!)

Genuine question - what is the stated accuracy of the gyros?

Surely that's more important than what people choose (potentially ill advisedly?) to use them for?
