In some way, unrelated to the topic, I became too concerned to have a consent pop-up without the "Reject All" being clearly the default CTA. Having both buttons marked as "primary" makes it easy to trick the user to choose "Accept" by mistake.

Another place where I encounter this behavior is the pop-ups shown by web browsers for sites asking for special, sometimes weird [1], permission like "location" which took me about five seconds to make sure I pick the "Block" button.

I hope this sort of behavior gets regulated by the corresponding authorities.

1. I once hear a youtuber say: Why on earth a wallpaper app needs to access my and manage my phone calls?!
