Ask HN: Why have we accepted the cookie pop-up situation across the web?

You know what I'm talking about. Even at their best, the pop-ups for every single website to accept or choose cookies is ridicuous. Can you imagine how much time in total we all lose to this? And yet, these "solutions" to the data privacy questions have become widespread. It's bad enough at normal times, let alone those who double triple quadruple bluff you into choosing the wrong setting. This is a tech board. Why have we all accepted this ridiculous situation? Isn't there a better solution?
