Because it's an extortion fee to get access to rights you're already supposed to have. Every pay or consent prompt asks you to pay a ridiculous sum of money, much more than they earn from tracking you.

They force people who don't want to be tracked to involuntarily consent to tracking, which happens to be the overwhelming majority of people, according to pay or consent providers themselves.

It's also designed to rob people who pay to not get tracked, even though the entire scheme is illegal anyways.

This would be a non-issue if providers would charge how much they earn from tracking you in return for not tracking you. But alas, they want to earn more money.
