That is an issue with the browser implementation, I think.

  No. A browser is required to load resources whether or not they come from they come from the same domain (otherwise you break all sites using CDNs, multiple servers for load, etc) The browsers (well Safari at least) actively work to break those things being used for tracking, but fundamentally (and the reason FB, etc require you to embed JS that loads their trackers) tracking companies treat user privacy systems as an adversary and continuously update to defeat it. Look at Google circumventing it in the past (and being hit with fines because of it). Nowadays they’re simply more clever in not crossing legal lines.

    That is a different problem, of requiring too many resources just to load a document.

    "A browser is required to load resources whether or not they come from they come from the same domain " False. A browser could easily be configured to block or prompt before loading 3rd party content (early versions of IE use to do this). It would be very annoying, but it's possible and that's where we're slowly going with all the cookie/gdpr popups. There's always a tradeoff between security and convenience. People are trying to legislate what should be a technical solution.
