> SugarCoat replaces these scripts with scripts that have the same properties, minus the privacy-harming features

Depending on the scope of these replacement scripts, this may run into API patent & copyright issues. Additionally, the trackers can simply start using different tracker script URLs to avoid this type of implementation.

A better solution is to allow these scripts to load (without cookies) and patch all of their actual network emissions and storage access to follow consent rules.
