I think the most you can tell from an IMU or gyro is that there is a change in velocity in a direction aligning with East-West when there is a change in location and that the change in velocity is greater when the location changes in line with North-South. The change in velocity would be greater as one approaches the poles and lesser at the equator.

Thought experiment: if I zeroed my IMU at the North pole and traveled in a straight line away from the pole along longitude zero, following the guidance of the IMU. By the time I got to 45° latitude I’d be traveling Westward at 1,180 kph (.95 Mach) to keep the IMU at zero.

The flat earther used a fibre optic gyro. You don't "zero" it, it continuously outputs a measurement of its own angular rate around it's sensitive axis. For a 3-axis gyro placed still on earth, it will read about 15 degree/hour around wherever the axis of earth is oriented.
