The "real" technical solution here is to standardize a modern authentication system separate from cookies and have things like "do not track" actually work. The industry has, seemingly deliberately, failed to do that. So the EU has rightfully argued from "first principle" that privacy and data protection is more important than the status quo in the industry.
