They literally are. If a consent form has an “allow all” button but no “reject all”, as many do, then it is not compliant. Likewise for “legitimate interest” (that one really gets my hackles up: it basically says “we see your preference, what would you think if we didn't give a crap?”). There have been some fines related to this sort of thing, and over time some of the dark patterns are getting a little less common, but enforcement thus far has not been sufficient to make the less dark variants the norm.
