It's not about *me* asking over and over again — it's about the fact that, in the course of a day, users interact with dozens of services. They will get asked over and over again, even under some purportedly ideal implementation of GDPR consent.

And that's the heart of the problem: we can all imagine a perfect consent flow, and it'll look like informed consent in its natural setting of for instance experimentation on human subjects. But that is a cartoonish view of user interactions in practice, IMHO.
