The problem with these directives is that they have to be codified into national laws. This takes a long time and is a complicated process. It seems much easier to enact them than to take back mistakes.
That alone seems to guarantee an authoritarian future or, at least, a bureaucratic nightmare in the long term. A small mistake here or there might appear to be harmless (e.g. cookie permissions), but what about the cumulative effects 50 years in the future?
