Close to 100% of the cookies I see in the wild are not to provide state.

There’s only a handful that need them for logging in.

Most sites I visit I don’t want to interact with, I just want to read.

Tracking is state. It's just that the state is used for advertisers' benefit rather than yours.

Any site requiring a login will most likely use one.

Yes: One. Not 20-50, including cookies for ads, user tracking, and whatever else they're doing this week.
