> Maybe if GHacks didn't comply with the legislation in such a user hostile manner, browser developers wouldn't have to waste time on such features.

You need the same feature for visiting EU government websites:

https://www.consilium.europa.eu/ (best example)

https://commission.europa.eu/

https://european-union.europa.eu/

There's a major difference between a two button UI with a clear "I refuse cookies" screen, and a screen where you first need to click "Learn More", then manually toggle 5 toggles about what you don't want to allow, then click the greyed out "View our partners" button, then block all of those. The second one is definitely extremely user hostile.
These just require a single click to reject, unlike the one on ghacks.net.
