nah, it's just slow, as unfortunately almost all things involving technology and international/supranational organizations

first case was around 2018-2019 and then it took some time for the cookie banner consent thing to percolate through the courts. (the Hungarian data protection agency already issued a ~3000 EUR fine in 2018-08 and cited the GDPR. and the Hungarian DPA cites this 2019 EU court case which is explicitly about cookie consent [1])

and according to this tracker - https://noyb.eu/en - there are 2B fines already imposed and (883 total cases and still 468 pending)
