You also made a point that some users might not what those options and frankly thats irrelevant if your aim is robustness, which you keep harping on about.
However I agree that there will have been some bad ideas there and some which need more fleshing out. You were basically asking me to do the work of hundreds of people over the last 20 years by myself in one evening. A point I did emphasise in that post in fact :)
Re GDPR and cookie laws, I was using that to illustrate how bad the problem had gotten. I don’t agree with the cookie concent law either but I do disagree with your point about GDPR. There are measures you can do to mitigate data collection (or at least the current modes) but You’re definitely right that it’s imposs to prevent entirely.
