I wouldn't actually mind that. What does annoy me is that most prompts are heavily biased to make you give consent - e.g., declining is made a lot harder than just blanket accepting.

The reasons for those are obvious and somewhat understandable from the companies' POV. Nevertheless, I don't see how a prompt employing dark patterns constitutes free and informed consent.

As such, I'm glad this descision seem to go in the same direction.
