EU said, "Do this or you can't do business in our countries." These websites said, "Ok" and didn't do business in those countries. Maybe kind of annoying, but this is explicitly the price you pay for more privacy.

Yes, but the complaint is about the awful PR messaging of "We care about you". Just be honest and be done with it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I wonder why, when I click to choose which measures I opt in/out, by default everything is just disabled and I just press confirm. Is it just me? Anyway, always saves me some effort. Tho I optin analytics usually :)

Well, to properly comply you should assume no consent by default. However, most of the dialogs these days assume opt out for the main bit but there is a separate section for Legitimate Interest and you have to manually opt out of those. Is it possible you are just not noticing the separate legitimate interest section?

I noticed that legitimate interest is opted in. But I still don't know what that means.
