Two reasons:

Because this is malicious compliance by websites. They are attempting to annoy people into clicking the easiest button, which is always the "store all my data, spam me at will" button.

And then the second is: browsers don't really know the purpose of any particular cookie, or how much the user actually wants it or not. Due to how cookies work, they really have no way to know. Cookies are not standardized enough.

cookies could be standardized/semantic - by name or by another cookies’ name (of course, there could still be violations if any part of a cookies value is opaque)
