My counter example to this is that nobody in the US does the super annoying cookie popup thing that's required in the EU already - why would they do GDPR which is orders of magnitude more complicated.
You are annoyed by stupid people who think they need a bunch of third party trackers on their site. Nobody, even not the EU, has problems with first party cookies.
Agreed that many, if not most, of the trackers on most websites are at the very least overkill, if not actively negative. I disagree that I need to be reminded that websites use cookies with a modal or popover every single time I visit a website that I visit daily.
