But web developers have done their best to wreck this. Have you ever had to explain GDPR cookie dialogs to elderly parents? I've watched them Google recipes only to blame the chef when the site was broken or unusable, which was more often than not.

But that's not due to web developers. They merely execute what some business people ask them to do in order to make people consent to something they don't want to consent to and making them angry about the EU presumably causing this, while it's completely up to the ad industry. They could make it a lot simpler or even reduce their surveillance.
