This strikes me as a typical false choice from a business perspective. "What you propose is not a perfect solution for ALL scenarios and ALL actors AND with zero cost (or less). That's why I oppose your solution to this important and pressing issue. For now we're just stuck with the wild west and businesses should just continue to do whatever they want. (WOOHOO!)"
As a consumer I'll take a good solution until an even better one comes along. Or maybe we can start with this solution and just make it better and better over time.
Also, the issues affecting businesses tend to create new opportunities. If small businesses need a low cost solution to manage their website preferences within the legal framework, somebody on the internet is going to offer to manage that for them at a low, low, low, low monthly cost. There's no reason to anticipate 60,000 new unique solutions for every individual small business in California. By February 2020, WordPress is going to have a plugin like Everest Forms or Jetpack to cover most of these concerns.
