That's the point. We want the barrier to entry in widespread tracking to be high.

For what it's worth, you don't need cookie consent warnings if you use them only for functionality integral to the product you offer your user. For example, if you need to use a cookie to facilitate a logged-in user session, you don't need to warn them.

The only ones paying the high price is the people who use it to collect user information not essential to the service they provide to the user, for god knows what.

Actually, we want to to be so high that nobody (including massive companies) can circumvent user consent.
