> European here. I squarely blame the business, and often turn back when hit by a particularly obnoxious banner.

You're in the minority. Most people will not think every business is responsible for that, they'll assume they're being forced into it.

> The bendy banana thing isn't a law, it's a class descriptor.

Missing the point. Even with millions of pounds you can't convince a majority of people that is true.

Continue to miss the point here. It doesn't have to be a good idea, years of meddling made it so people were willing to vote for a bad idea. That's my point.
