Better question here is, why is this not handled through the browser instead of relying on individual web apps to do it. Block third party cookies by default, delete other cookies on the last tab or window closed and prompt user to save cookies on a form submit ("do not delete cookies for this domain when leaving" type of prompt, for pages with logins, settings, etc).

We had Do-Not-Track header once. Id did not play out very well.
I don't know how the experience is in US, but in EU it's because GDPR is a complete failure of a law which doesn't actually solve any problem.
What makes you think so? I’ve seen a lot of good come from it.
94% don't want tracking... and the remainder 6% of responses can be attributed to the lizardman constant https://gwern.net/note/lizardman

The last thing a browser wants to do is break experience for older sites. If a site relies on 3rd party cookies for log in, it will no longer work on your browser. It makes your browser look shit. Same reason we allow unclosed tags, crossed tags, etc.
In other words, what does it mean to be "tracked"? How was the question worded? You can change this value from 1% all the way up to 99% depending on how you ask the question, because "being tracked" is open to interpretation.
Truly a useless poll.

An alternative would be to have a cookie jar per domain.
“We value your privacy” is a very hollow statement, when the website is asking to track you…
