This is clearly a powerful feature, so it's a natural candidate for
restriction.  Chromium is restricting all of navigator.geolocation as of 50:

Our telemetry shows that only ~0.1% of the usage of watchPosition() is in
non-secure contexts.

That's low enough that we should go ahead and turn it off.

I have filed Bug 1266494 to track this issue.
