Gee this seems like an actual useful feature to build into smart TVs.

The NES Classic is somehow able to detect rapidly flashing screens in its built-in games and temporally blur them as an anti-seizure measure. Nintendo certainly learned its lesson from the Pokémon incident.

That's a better solution than putting warnings in front of every game.

Cookie banners aren't warnings though, nor legal requirements; the legal requirement is that the user has to make an informed choice before the website is allowed to place tracking cookies. It was the websites themselves that implemented it in a hostile fashion to intentionally annoy the user into just accepting it or to complain to the EU. But the EU never mandated the big cookie banners / popups. Be very careful with who you think has caused that.
