It has been ZERO DAYS since some GPL'd software made me "agree" to the GPL while installing it.

The GPL is not that kind of license: You don't need to agree to it. Agreeing to it changes nothing.

This just happens because installers have a premade "license" page and the GPL license seems like a natural fit.

But there's no point: You need to notify the user the software is GPL, but that's all.

An installer for "Reko decompiler for x86-64", showing the EULA screen, and the user needs to click an "I accept the terms in the License Agreement" to continue to the next page of the installer.

The license shown is the GPL version 2, which isn't the kind of license you agree to
