Would it be legal/ethical to allow automated pre-commitment to all terms and conditions that nefarious sites may choose to scatter around their pages, many of which won't have been written until after the user had ticked this "agree to everything" box?

> every website gives us a pop-up with an intentionally confusing interface

Any site doing this is breaking the law. Report them please.

> Why can't I say 'No' to tracking once?

Because sites which track you don't want it. After all, they're the ones who invented "cookie banners"; and they could choose to get rid of them by just, you know, not tracking people. Yet they don't.
