Wow this shows the DMA might really do some good.

I'm impressed with EU regulation. Standardized chargers, ending roaming charges, GDPR, DMA. Definitly worth the side effects overall.

Side effects like horrendous cookie banners everywhere.

I really like the DMA too

Just use an Add-On like Consent-O-Matic that declines/accept (based on your preferences) automatically for you. This way you also don't have to deal with the illegal shady dark patterns, many companies use

After gdpr you can pretty consistently get companies to delete their data about you, and often get a data export. Those alone seem worth the consent pop ups.
