It's not just a question of whether or not there are banners. For corporate websites these banners are often designed to be as confusing as possible as to make turning off spying the least likely option chosen in aggregate.
This is malicious complicance.
That's also not legal though, and there's been moves to make DNT in browsers be enforceable as a user explicitly not consenting.
The laws themselves say that rejection should NOT be more difficult than accepting. You can make it as complicated as you want, only if the acceptance process is equally or more complicated.
