I for one welcome it. If a website has this popup, and it doesn't default to disabled tracking, and there are "legitimate interest" bullshit that cannot be turned off, I close down the website. I even uninstall apps (chess.com, here's looking at you).

Just because website purposefully give a terrible UX in an effort circumvent the law does not mean the law is wrong. It's the implementation.

I have a sneaking suspicion that if you leave the site without doing its maze of opt-outs, then they go "oh great, user didn't opt out!" and you didn't even get to read what you were looking for.
Joke’s on them because all their cookies get deleted when I close the tab. And it’s not like I have a shortage of things to read.
