Yes, definitely. Ad absurdum, browsers could be mandated to have the user opt-in to every single instruction that is executed. It's technically possible, the user has control.
I think it's a slippery slope to imagine/enforce a transfer of agency between the website user and provider, where the latter will try to make the opt-in appear as simple as possible. An ideal opt-in is more than the click of a button, it's an understanding. A button accompanied by a wall of text isn't understanding.

I'd bet that most of the users have no idea what's going on in their browsers and devices, and those instruments then, in turn, shouldn't prey on this ignorance. I know that this is not how the world works, but a difference is that we could have control over this one.
