This is a terrible analogy. Nobody forced you to go to the website that voluntarily decided to include the trackers.

I can't tell if this argument is meant seriously but it is incredibly specious. If every single website operates in this fashion and modern life is nearly impossible without them, then consumers are presented with no option and it amounts to coercion.

It’s inconvenient for me to have to pay for things, that doesn’t mean stores are obligated to let me shop for free.

If that website doesn't ask me if I want to allow those trackers then it's forcing them upon me without my consent. How am I supposed to know if a website has a tracker before I visit it?

They also don’t ask you if you want whatever specific content they are rendering that day to be rendered or not. Caveat visitor.
