<summary>HDAPS daemon for various laptops with motion sensors</summary>
<description>
<p>This is a disk protection user-space daemon. It monitors the
acceleration values through an interface and automatically
initiates disk head parking if a fall or sliding of the laptop is
detected.</p>
<p>Currently, the following interfaces are supported:</p>
<ul>
<li>IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad (HDAPS)</li>
<li>Apple iBook/PowerBook (AMS)</li>
<li>Apple MacBook/MacBook Pro (APPLESMC)</li>
<li>HP (HP3D)</li>
<li>Dell (FREEFALL)</li>
<li>Toshiba (ACPI and HAPS)</li>
<li>Acer (INPUT)</li>
</ul>
<p>On ThinkPads, it is recommended that you use this daemon with
the hdaps module provided by tp-smapi rather the one in the
kernel, as this will save you a bit of power and will work on a
wider range of ThinkPads.</p>

Will this make hdapsd automatically installed on all ThinkPads?
I don't think that Thinkpads shipped with rotating disks for the last 10 years, and the ones from the last 5 years probably don't even support rotating disks at all, so it seems wrong to suggest this tool for these?

There is currently nothing automatically installing it, but yes, the
modalias glob will match all Thinkpads. Perhaps you have a more fitting
match expression? 'cat $(find /sys -name modalias)|sort -u' can provide
some ideas.

Is the joystick feature only present on machines with a rotating disk, or is that part useful also on Thinkpads with SSD?

The joystick feature?
Are you mixing up hdapsd and tp-smapi?

hdapsd (this repo) is only for parking HDDs and not useful on flash-based storage.

tp-smapi exposes a sensor (also) as a joystick so you can play games by moving the laptop, but the interface it's using doesn't exist since SandyBridge models from 2012.
