And yet they are on every website I visit and annoy me endlessly.

Do you know what's funny? The sites make a big show of how they are "made to show this annoying popup", right

But funnily enough, the other 10 popups/banners/sliders etc to sign for their newsletters, promotions, etc are all voluntary then?

Ha! There is some good truth to this :)
Enable the annoyances filters in ublock origin settings, gets rid of a lot of them, but not all
Wow, cool! I hadn't even seen that before. I enabled all the annoyances filters -- let's see what happens. I tip my hat off to you :)
Yes, but they are not mandated by anyone.
