A few of your points seem right but several are just wrong or misleading. E.g. GDPR is a great tool just maliciously implemented by companies that have an interest to do so - 90% of the banners you see are purposefully designed to be annoying and delivered by a small group of ad networks. The aim is to grind you down and make you just click anything to get rid of them. But it has also given us Google/Facebook takeout and the right to actually delete your accounts.

But then why does https://europa.eu/ https://europa.eu/ also have this banner? Surely, if this were so easy then the European Union's commission could at least be able to make a website without the banner, no? And I agree that GDPR isn't all bad, but they had plenty of previous experience to come up with a better system than what we ended up with on the pop-up front. They knew that this would happen, because it happened previously. And yet they did it anyway.
