Sorta? I don't consent to much when I get the pop-up. You can revoke consent at any time as well and you're entitled to the data the company has on you.

Average person don't understand what they click on and they just want the pop up the get out of their way.

You have a bias for being a tech person who understand this, but vast majority of people have no idea what it is about and they just consent because they don't care or know the impact of their decision.

Most people I know are not tech savvy and from shoulder surfing, they click no to consent. One couple I know won’t even install an app if it asks for their location.
