And NOYB has started pushing for more enforcement, so it's likely sites will become more compliant.

It turns out that those third party "consent form in a box" solutions tend to have settings to let the website operators choose how user-hostile the popup is supposed to be. It's a shame the DPAs are all understaffed, incompetent, unwilling, or willfully looking away (e.g. in the case of Ireland) instead of taking expensive enforcement action against companies that violate it.

A few expensive examples and every site would have a top-level, equally visible "reject all" button, and after a while, sites would realize that with 90% of people choosing that, they might as well skip that popup and assume rejection.

Those popups aren't mandatory at all, sites can simply respect your privacy by default.
