I don't think so. iio-sensor-proxy is not at the same level as libinput, and
the dbus API is there for a reason. in theory, a libinput-based solution
would be for libinput to read the sensors and have iio-sensor-proxy wrap
libinput to provide the dbus API that applications require.

That wouldn't add anything to the current solution though, it'd be mostly
code churn for little benefit. so unless Bastian requests that we add this
to libinput, I don't think this is worth pursuing.
