I hate cookie banners just like anyone else, and use addons to remove them.
But I don't think it's browsers' job to modify web content based on their discretion, even with
good intentions. I especially hate it when a manually crafted list is involved (as said in the article).
I think it should be done of 3rd-party addons/rules, not the browser vendor.
I had the same thought until I remembered that i use the pop up blocker from the same browser. It's really not different. Pop ups are valid html/js that we depend on the browser disrespecting, so are third party cookies.

I honestly don't like this idea.
