That’s not accidental. They want it to be extremely annoying and confusing so that you are forced to click accept all. The EU needs to clarify their legislation but for now they’ve made the internet objectively worse for everyone.

No, from what I understand, the law is already clear that “reject all” must be as easy as “accept all”. Those who doesn’t show this are already breaking the law.

No, the companies with cookie banner web sites did that.

The companies are doing exactly what they need to do to stay in compliance while making sure their business is minimally impacted as possible.
That would be a bad law, with too many details that will be wrong on many contexts.
Stop making excuses to people that are trying to fuck you.
The legislation is already clear, it should be as easy to opt-in as to opt-out. People/businesses didn't seem to get it, but more and more they are starting to realize it. Also, they don't want to be caught once fines starts being handed out.
"Objectively" should mean objectively, just because it doesn't fit with how you (or your employer) think the internet should work, doesn't mean that's what everyone thinks. I'm quite happy that websites have to disclose what they are doing and ask for permission. They could also not track me and not having to ask for any permission, but not many websites chose to act like that, so nice to get the heads up.

The legislation needs to be opt out by default with a non obtrusive request to opt in. These aren’t players in good faith so why indulge them in legislation.
Guess what, the GDPR doesn't allow that either.
