Or a new, opt-in "Do-Track" that means consent to tracking, and anything else means tracking is not allowed. Why should it opt-out?

As long as there is Do-Not-Track as well, and companies must follow BOTH, this would be ok by me.

But this one alone opens the door to behavior similar to tracking cookies, where accepting all was easy and not accepting was hard af.

I can already hear big tech explaining to me, that not sending the do-not-track header must mean do-track obviously, and that I am wrong, when I complain about missing consent. And I can already see the people who have been gaslit sufficiently to believe this stuff.
