Because they are the path of least resistance. Companies don't want to spend any time figuring out how to actually be compliant, so they slap these cookie banners on, most of which aren't compliant.
Also they're not "cookie banners". You don't need to show a banner to set cookie that your site needs to function (such as login, etc.).
They're "we're doing stuff you didn't ask us to and sharing your data with over 300 other companies" - banners.
