Simply make the DNT-Header a legally binding thing. If the user sends it, it means that only technically necessary cookies can be used.
This would require no UX from the side of the website, thus defeating all dark patterns at once

However I can’t help but feel that the “loopholes” in the current regulations were intentional. Politicians have a history of rolling out regulations that have giant loopholes for their corporate friends to exploit.
