I believe their point is that only sites that are tracking you are legally required to give you a choice.

Plenty of sites ignore GDPR, some sites will GDPR just to CYA, some sites have cookie popups just to be polite, "Site with GDPR popup" in reality is a very poor analog for "site that wants to track me." Most sites that want to, especially for those not in the EU, just will, no questions asked.

Maybe for most sites, but not for most site visits, since people mostly visit just a few large sites that are too big to ignore the law.
