So why didn't GDPR require Do Not Track to be honored? It was already there, to be expanded on if needed.

But I can't imagine copmanies would want that. They benefit from cookie dialogs fatigue, and for some reason people blame GDPR of all things for surveillance tech being annoying in how they ask for permission.

It is entirely possible the lawmakers who put together GDPR were bad at their jobs and didn't consider better technical solutions.

gdpr does mandate any technical solution

technical solutions are chosen by companies to have as much dark patterns as possible to force you to consent

companies that want to sell user data are bad guys trying to make gdpr look bad
