In addition to the cookie privacy pop-over when viewing that site, I (as an American) am just amazed how regulated the internet is in Europe compared to the USA.
Is there an argument why we would want it any other way?

I don't know where you're seeing that as the site does not have such things. The only cookies present are essential and so nothing further was needed.
The site does not track you, sell your data, or otherwise test you as a source of monetisation. Without such things conforming with cookie laws is trivial... You are conformant by just connecting nothing that isn't essential to providing the service.
For most of the sites only a single cookie is set for the session, and for the few via cloudflare those cookies get set too.
Why we would want it any other way than what? It's not clear to me whether you see the added European regulation as positive or negative.
