The ones that created cookie popups everywhere. It’s horrible. It’s the worst. Everyone can see how horrible it is. Nobody understands why this is still a thing.

The regulations never mandated cookie popups.
Companies who decided to continue their invasive policies chose to implement those popups to provide legal cover. Non-invasive companies don't need to do that. The issue is with the companies, not the regulation.

The issue is with both. It is not exactly surprising that for-profit companies implement the regulation in a way that minimizes their expenses, and the outcome this produces could have been anticipated when the legislation was written. The outcome matters more than the intent.
