Oh please. One might argue that the GDPR is a bit vague on some points, but it is very readable for ordinary people, and it clearly states that opting out should not be harder than opting in. So no, these dark patterns that push you into accepting by introducing extra friction for users that reject tracking (by adding artificial delays, having a lot of manual clicking to opt-out, etc) are not a case of genuine confusion. The people who build this functionality are just assholes.
