In reality, caring so much about their privacy seems to be a German/Nordic thing. There was no public outcry that led to GDPR , it seems to have popped up more through bureaucracy rather than popular demand. I think most europeans are just as oblivious/indifferent to privacy issues as americans, and we don't even have the CA scandal here. So yes, 99% will just press accept and forget about it. It's mainly the vocal proponents that you hear.
