I don't really disagree, but companies like Disney who depend on their reputations might stop doing this voluntarily, improve their notification process, or go with "opt in." Browser companies and/or Adobe might put Flash cookies under the same controls as cookies in general, so they're not exempt from your own privacy settings.
My biggest fear is that all the outcry over privacy will make the bad guys do a better job of hiding their intrusive practices. I don't think they have any interest or intention to make it easy for people to control their own information, and the bad publicity hurts them, so they'll just become sneakier. IMO it won't be long before we'll have to use "in private" for all our browsing, full disk encryption, etc.
