The legislation (at least ones like this) are not implemented thoughtlessly. Its likely that just allowing parts which have a short service life to be replaced would be enough.

Also anything which is structural is likely not going to be the part which maintenance needs to be done on

Would you say GDPR and cookie laws were implemented thoughtfully? (not asking if the laws themself are thoughtless)

The cookie problem we have is because the sites are actually tracking you m so maybe they should have forced to say "We are tracking you, please accept". Coockies used for actual technical reasons like to store a session ID do not need warnings. GDPR improved on that by forcing the websites to show me what are collecting and with who are sharing the data. I like this transparency, if you want to track me then tell me the details and I will decide if I visit your page or maybe find a different one.

I'd rather be continuously tracked by a thousand websites and volunteer my birthday and location history to them than ever click a cookie or GDPR popup again.

GDPR was.

Unfortunately there hasn't been any significant follow through yet.

Yep. All those dark pattern cookie banners are illegal under GDPR.

Yes on GDPR, no on cookie laws.
