What about having a law that makes it clear that an popup does not create informed consent, and then have companies decide to ignore that part of the law because it would be super inconvenient if they had to actually get informed consent.

Maybe EU should write a new law by copying the GDPR text that defines consent and make it bold, all in caps, and underlined.

Cookies are somewhat out of scope of the GDPR. The GDPR was designed to have a twin who should regulate somethings like Cookies, Email and Telecommunications; it is now stalled for 3 years and everyone hopes it will come out next year.
