I don’t think it’s a RTFM thing. The lawyers RTFM, and this is what they came up with. The legislation called for informed consent. Two core issues were left open to definition, in practice. [1] What requires informed consent? [2] What counts as informed consent. For question 2, a standard answer (nag screen) emerged. Question 1 is trickier. The cheapest & easiest solution is to just nag, so that’s the default. If you want to drop the nag screen you can deal with question 1, but most don’t bother. Either they want the tracking, they want the easiest option or they want legal CYA. I think the legislative intentions were good, but this was a hard area to legislate. It didn’t work, IMO.
