And I feel even that is giving publishers some leeway. Even if a button is theoretically as easy to hit as another button, if it's just a bit of underlined text vs a button with a solid and bright background, they'll still get most of their users "consenting". (I'm wondering if they're teaching me to hit the de-emphasised button by default.)
