Huh, I think I agree. Not only are the banners slow, obnoxious, have a tendency to being manipulative and are different for every website, a web developer can easily ignore the user's choice and track them anyway. Apple made a big leap with the “ask app not to track” and I think browsers should have this as well. If only to get rid of those infernal banners.

I've been in Europe for almost 2 months now and started seeing the GDPR banners a lot more often. I've yet to feel like I'm missing anything by either clicking reject all, or by avoiding the site if I can't reject all non-required cookies in a few clicks.
