There are so many bad GDPR banners because the people creating them want you to be annoyed by them. They want to have the easy path being the one that lets them collect as much data as they can and the most private path is as annoying as they believe they can get away with under the law. They want people complaining that the GDPR did nothing but cause all these annoying banners. It'd be possible for many if not most web sites to not have such banners at all by simply defaulting to privacy-friendly behaviors, but there's too much money to be had in the behaviors the GDPR seeks to reduce.
