#108Because it works (AIUI "I agree" gets people to give explicit consent with good success and the subscribe modals are quite effective too)

#109Needs a Google login popup, required for any site that there is no reason at all to have an account with.
How about an email popup. My browser will happily auto-populate it.

#110If it's the design, not everyone is a web designer so the bootstrap theme is great to get up off the ground.
If it's the other stuff then, yeah, totally.
