Is there any evidence that this law is achieving the goals it was designed to tackle? If not, is there any reason it still exists? Why don't laws have to continually justify themselves as a matter of procedure?
If your asking if the GDPR is effective, yes, it is.
The only ones ignoring it completely are either dodgy companies, or the clueless. The companies exercising malicious compliance are now (quite rightly) increasingly seen as dodgy and need to up their game if they want to become respectable.

Do sites stop tracking you if you reject the cookies?
Some do, some don’t.
Is the goal still valid.
Yes.

I am convinced these laws have just made my life and the Internet marginally worse, with no measurable positive impact.

Still too few just show a simple „Reject All“ button.
And they ignored things like DNT in the browser on purpose.
So if someone made the Internet is worse it’s them and they successfully shifted the blame.

The days of not protecting user data are over.
