Can the horrendous cookie banner by the EU be rolled back?

Cookie banners aren't required for a working web. User-abusing organisations would like you to think that, because they want you to blame the EU rather than them. The fact is, if a cookie is strictly required to provide the service the user is requesting, then explicit consent is not required (it's implied by the user requesting the service in the first place).

Cookie banners are only required for sites that abuse users.

Unfortunately there are many organisations who are duped into thinking that they need cookie banners when they do not. That helps the agenda of the user-abusing organisations.

We can still blame the regulator, that they introduced legislation they do not enforce. If all those dark pattern usages would lead to prosecution, they would be gone already.

I fear the assumption was that the market participants would be enticed to force each other to comply, but what if all participants want to break the law?

Enforcement is happening. For example: https://www.cnil.fr/en/cookies-cnil-fines-google-total-150-m...

But yes, I'd like it to be happening faster.
