If it were as hard to opt-in as it is to fully opt-out, or as easy to accidentally (and permanently) opt-out as it is to accidentally (and permanently) opt-in, then there might be a case for something other than the sites and/or their partners being the problem.
The legislation does not in any way force sites or their partners to make your browsing so inconvenient if you don't want to just click "accept all from all without or without lube". They could implement a small non-modal active-opt-in option, they instead chose to implement labyrinthine modal hunt-the-231st-opt-out adventure games.
