This is written from the standpoint that you want to deny consent. But I just want to give consent and get on with my day. I see it as sort of paying for the content.

Honestly I think most people see it this way, even if it’s an unpopular stance in some tech circles.

I find it annoying but I do the opposite. Don't give my consent for all the optionals and prefer not to get tracked. I don't believe all of that tracking is warranted in a significant number of cases. Websites appear to be still fully functional without all of those extras, too, meaning the website providers are also ok with foregoing it.
