I would say of 9% who gave consent the vast majority gave their consent through error, deceit or because they don't know what tracking really means and they wanted the service anyway. Why not outright outlaw opt-out tracking and be done with this silly state of things? There are legitimate uses of tracking and any company would still be able to provide it for the users, but you would have to have legally binding contract and opt in for the service.

Tracking already has to be opt-in according the GDPR. The issue is that the GDPR is not enforced so sites get away with non-compliant consent prompts.

  The issue here simply seems like enforcement needs to be formalized to be as cost-effective and simple as possible. It starts with fines, ramps up to full investigations if bad faith is shown. Turns out when you write laws they also need to be enforced.
