"You don't have to obey this law if you really need to violate it" is a common tactic in EU lawmaking and it's about as helpful as unlimited vacation policies are.
Nobody knows how EU DPRs will define "need" and therefore, to be safe, you just always show the warning. The cost of the warning is low. The cost of being found in violation is high.
Avoiding this sort of outcome is basic stuff, law-making 101, but the EU's output of low quality rule-by-law not rule-of-law regulations makes it seem like they either don't know or don't care.

That isn't the claim. The claim is that a bunch of cookies are specifically exempt from the law and the law tells you that you don't need to put up cookie banner click-throughs. And also that everyone ignores that, and puts up the banner click-throughs anyway and then moans about EU law.
