The whole point is, if you make it harder to unsubscribe, people will mark you as spam, think you're even more annoying than other not-wanted mailings and even more unlikely to do business with. Compare it with a store attendee who pulls you in and doesn't let you out anymore.. You will NEVER shop there anymore even if they have stuff you like.

I think "visiting a single page" means precisely one-click. Because once click takes you to the page. Any further action, even while you're on that same page, is an additional requirement, which is disallowed.

It allows requiring an email address.

How could you unsubscribe an email address without asking which one?

You provide a special link that someone can follow that has an ID of some type associated with the email.
