Like when browsers implemented popup blockers. Now we have even more invasive unblockable popups?

Websites can't do anything the browser doesn't allow. Or said another way, websites can only do what the browser was programmed to support. The browser is the decider.

Now the popups are almost always not new windows, but "pop-overs" inside the page itself.

If you start a war, you should be prepared to fight for a long time. That's why most browser makers don't even start.

Safari did and had to make multiple changes to ITP because criteo was fighting back.

It is always necessary to stay vigilant.
