MC likely acts as a data processor on behalf of it's clients - therefore from a GDPR perspective consent requirement rests on their clients which would be data controllers.

that being said - MC and other reputable ESPs have for awhile been much more concerned about consent for deliverability reasons

Processors have plenty of liabilities under the GDPR.

absolutely - but they do not have to ensure that data they process is properly consented - that is the role of the data collector.
