This article states that that is at least the view of the french antitrust watchdog after consulting with the body responsible for enforcing privacy laws in France. Certainly by the spirit of the GDPR, Apple is enforcing the expectation. Whether there is legal wriggle room for a more limited interpretation appears to be up to your local regulator's decision making about who to prosecute. I'm at least not aware of anyone winning a case on viewwrap or required consent, though privacy bodies aren't keeping up with people finding new excuses to not comply.
