In before all the top 100 sites just add a deny button that takes you to a 404 page, or some unformatted XML
-
They'll just continue to ignore the law. This requirement has been in place since before the first wave of cookie banners.

Well, punishments will hopefully become less tame now that there's been a clear precedent. Companies won't be able to argue anymore that they had a different understanding of the law...

A reject all button would appear on every page because the website wouldn't remember that you rejected cookies.

It has never been forbidden to store first party cookies required for site functionality. This includes remembering the banner setting.

In particular, the GDPR only concerns itself with personal data. The only reason a news webpage needs a cookie banner, is because they do tracking.
I would also argue that even a shopping webpage doesn't need a cookie banner either, because you express your consent when you click that "Add to Cart" button.
The only reason cookie banners are so prevalent is due to fearmongering by the ad industry. They had to convince webpages that they'd need a cookie banner whether they do ads/tracking or not.
