Cookies are used for things other than tracking, so maybe not obsolete, just irrelevant for tracking usage.

I didn’t read the entire spec, maybe there’s stuff that replaced cookies in there.

Cookie banners are only necessary for tracking. The idea here isn't to obsolete cookies, just the banners, as the spec proposes a way to gather user consent through the user agent instead of a cookie banner.
