pricing correlates to 0.95 with poorly managed cookies in my anecdotal experience. Customers don't even know what all that means, they just want a cheap, functioning website.

Yes, and most consumers outside the tech space just want to access the content. 95% of my friends have no clue what a cookie is - they just press the green button and get on with their shopping. It's not an education issue either - they just don't particularly care.

Exactly - and the regulators thought of this. The obvious/simple/default option MUST be the one that protects the users information the most, or the GDPR is violated.

The law is written understanding that users are lazy/ignorant/non-technical. Anything else would have been useless.
