That is entirely by design?
If you collect so much diverse data that you exploit in 100 different ways and share with 1000 different companies that you require a hundred pages of individual consent checkboxes, the system is working as intended.
Will most users just accept all? Maybe. But I think the share of concerned users is larger than you believe it to be. And if history is any indication, "reasonable default settings" have a bad habit of never erring on the side of data collection minimization, particularly for new and novel features.

It should be a requirement that the hassle is proportional to the data sharing. Want to share my data with 100 different places? Make me click 100 checkboxes.
