The GDPR went into effect in 2018 and gave companies 4 years to prepare for it. The GDPR has strict guidelines as to how data processing consent flows should be presented, including the fact that it should be as easy to decline as it is to accept.
Yet, Google initially implemented a malicious consent form where accepting is easy and declining is impossible. They only very recently implemented a compliant consent flow which gives you an easy option to decline.
Google has already proven their bad faith and successfully got away with it, along with plenty of other companies.
