Yes. Besides for the administration costs incurred (which is probably the real killer), the list of death points are:

1. Adding a dialog as the first step in an onboarding funnel that's already difficult to get users through

2. Handling non-consent. WTF! So if the user doesn't give consent to something that 99% of the population doesn't understand, I'm not allowed to prevent them from using the app. And so my engineering team needs to waste critical hours figuring out things like how to deal with crashes, or maybe how in the fuck we're supposed to fallback to not using services that we're built on (e.g. Firebase)!

3. Dealing with the fallout of #1 in the form of bad reviews that are the kiss of death to startups
