It's not the popup that is required, it is crappy websites that prefers to do the popups in the most annoying way to force you to accept you wouldn't want to.
Somehow we can at thanks to Europe, so that sites and app that do things well have a clear competitive advantage.
What we can be annoying is Europe not doing much to sanction abused. Like these assholes of trustarc and co that block in "processing" for 2 minutes when you refuse cookies. They pretend that it is the time to make a request to tell all the providers to not track you. But by definition if you don't want to be track there is no request they can do to tell to not keep info that they are not supposed to receive.
