Fun fact, they are illegal if they require more clicks to reject than accept; so this is not a consequence of the law anyway.

I wouldn't call it fun that so many big providers just ignore the law and are apparently getting through without consequences.
Gears of EU grind slowly but finely. IAB just received a fine for promoting horrible banner practices. And it's not like we'd be better off if the gears didn't grind at all. Now just even uBlock will save you a lot of hassle and server-side tracking purely by the virtue of blocking the consent banners (so they can't be approved)
