It's not just convenience.
Tech companies, lawyers, and regulators have trained us to never look at Terms and Conditions, click "grant" on any permission request, and accept the little class-action data-breach card as part of our modern lives.
Of course, it could work differently. For example, cookie acceptance in the EU plummeted from over 90% to around 50% after regulators required clear explanations and explicit consent to tracking.
