Ummmmm

If they didn't have ads that track me, then they would have no need to ask my permission to use cookies that track me.

There is no requirement so seek permission for other cookies needed to run the website. Quite why some readers of a technical news site (!) are still confused about this is bizzare.

In short, blame the scummy adtech industry. Not the legislation that gives us our privacy.
