No, some people used it to correct their displays, so some devices are wrong.
The real issue is the trust, if some send a matrix is should be to follow the
panel orientation when the identity matrix or acpi in mount matrix is wrong.
But, without having the device only trust in people reports can be use. I have
fixed 3 devices recently because could find how they report the position.

The good part, if the desktop does it right, the people that send incorrect
matrices will argue again but will be their own fail.

That part I haven't found a standar way to go. For accel values the standard
universal for all OSes is normal when the panel is normal, not the casing, but,
for the orientation labels and resolution swap at showing it in settings there
is no standard but seems to be coherent to relabel to make the device feel it's
normal position is the normal casing position and make totally transparent for
the user the manufacturer used a panel with another orientation.
