A lot of those hours might be saved if they mandate a “reject all cookies” button on the cookie banner.

They do already, and big companies have already been fined for not offering them, which led to some smaller parties adding them. See here [0] for a list, amongst which was Microsoft getting a $65 million fine for not having an easy opt-out on Bing, or $162 million to Google for the same thing. Noncompliance should be reported.

majority of sites don't have a clear "reject/decline all" button. I think they deliberately make it complicated.
