The click-through is itself likely violating the regulation. All it takes is for someone to complain; it's not enough for 99% of people to click through.

How long would it take a EU court to notice, plan, and take action ? VW was blatantly lying about emissions for years and nobody seemed to care

EU courts take notice when someone files a complaint. In the past, great people like Max Schrems have taken the mantle. I'd certainly support him or anyone else planning to follow up on his work.
