Yes but the only thing better than being compliant is being compliant twice over so there's absolutely no debate about compliance.

I much rather companies be scared into complying and have some spare banners than companies having grey area free-for-alls with my data.

Eh, it took me all of 2 days to strip all the unnecessary cookies out of our product, and convince management to leave out the giant unnecessary cookie banner.
The sites plastering those everywhere are doing a malicious compliance, pure and simple
This is why people complain about the unclear and bureaucratic nature of these laws, it leads to an over complicated investigation and compliance isn't always simple - meaning the safest option is to comply at the highest level and degrade the user experience.
