Gyro has been present in Sony controllers since Dualshock 3. All of the Nintendo controllers I ever used had it. Steam deck has it. I honestly assumed it is a standard feature.
I‘ve have a PS3 and PS4 and can‘t think of a single game that uses this feature. When I say widespread I don’t mean the hardware, but how it is implemented in software.
GTA IV had it for PS3, I remember.
It did? How was this utilized?
It was optional to use, you could control leaning on bikes I remember but I never used the feature.
All PC games support gyro if they're played with SteamAPI and the controller has gyro support. You can configure it however you want, it's just a controller function being bound to an input.
You can even add gyro support to games that never had it, like PS2 and GameCube games. Because, again, it's just a method of input.
