It's a dark pattern, it reminds me of the cookie banner opt-out flows where they make it intentionally overly complicated.

I hope the EU sues them again over this. Same with the cookie banner, by law there should be a single click 'no thanks' button.

that's pretty much their MO: keep pushing the envelope until you get sued, then take 2 steps back and start again

It would be great if they took two steps, sometimes I think they don't even tale a half step back, instead they just stop where they are for sometime.
