I think it’s often the opposite, sites have cookie banners that are actually useless because they’re still not compliant.

Often if it’s a custom cookie banner it will only have an “accept” button (no way to reject!) and usually with vague language like “ok”

Even where they do have the right language and a way to reject cookies, sometimes the site sets cookies ahead of the user actually accepting them.

IANAl, but this would still be compliant if they use legitimate interest as a justification. In that case the user just needs to be informed and have the opinion to object via separate means.
