Silicon Valley has such an antagonistic view of user consent and user control, and when they're forced to acknowledge and respect it, they do it in the most tantrum-y, malicious-compliance way they can. It's like the Bob's Burgers meme: "OK, Fine. But I'm gonna complain the whole time." Ironically, if these companies didn't choose to make their consent UX so deliberately hostile and in-your-face, we might never have had this much visibility into how big of a problem it is.
