That is the idea. Increase the risk and arbitrary non viability of loopholes. No one will touch it so the only way to move forwards is minimal risk.

In my experience this just opens or expands corruption. You pay your way to be able to be "approved" by the authority.
For example, the legitimate interest. Who determines that? The authoritaa. But then the authoritaa might approve Google and disapproves small-naughty-trackor. Both are doing the same privacy invasion. So why one gets a free pass and another is reprimanded.
Even if the current regulator (persons) are honest, they are not irreplaceable. Maybe the guy after them will be corrupt. And since there is a lot of money here, money corrupts.

Which is why the authority can be appealed.
This is a good principle for Constitutional law. It's a bad principle for general law, as it introduces political uncertainty and authoritarian risks into everything.
