Because users would riot, and would use browsers or plugins that suppressed these notifications.

I would love it, personally! And websites would riot, and then reduce the number of permissions they requested, just like apps do/did.

It would be just like the cookie notices are, now that the data misuse is displayed with a banner, people rage and hate those. Websites haven't really removed third party/non-essential cookies.
