I still don't understand how this has anything to do with "user intent". What makes you think that the default user intent is to allow tracking? Would it have been better if the browser asked the user to choose? Do you think user intent would have been respected if it was presented as an opt-in setting? (ie. 99% of user would just click ok without opting in)

The reason why this flag doesn't work has nothing to do with user intent. We wouldn't see all these GDPR banners that make it difficult to opt out if anyone actually cared about user intent.
