Add additional any-* consideration note to pointer/hover
The rationale given in any-pointer/any-hover about not relying exclusively on any-* is equally valid in reverse here. This does not imply that authors must design for "lowest common denominator", but simply opens up the possibility that they may wish to keep non-primary inputs in mind when deciding on their layout/functionality.
