...which you have to click EVERY TIME you visit nearly every website on the web.

In fact many of those popovers are not even properly compliant in various ways (usually breaking the "as easy to opt out as to out in" mandates, to give the most common example). If you are angry at "cookie laws" and/or GDPR, you are angry at the wrong target.
