It doesn't matter what the law says if it's not being enforced. Much more blatant GDPR breaches are still going unpunished, so do you really think they are going to audit every single website to make sure they comply?

Enforcement is a huge problem, that is true.

My hope is that with recent rulings against Google, Meta etc. we might see an improvement across the board. Like there's some improvement with reject buttons: https://noyb.eu/en/where-did-all-reject-buttons-come

Absolutely and I have to say one of the problems with the (vast) ambition of GDPR in tackling what is a huge problem is that enforcement is a massive undertaking especially when the (alleged) transgressors are these massive multinational corporations who have practically infinite resources to put into evasion.
