I can see how it's bad for business, but as a developer wouldn't it mean more jobs and more of custom libraries to make?

Things like this or the GPDR favor the rich and the bigger companies who can, while not convenient, devote resources to compliance. It’s not just GitHub that would have to comply. I suspect that the code snippet sharing in Slack would have to monitor code snippets pasted in various programming chat areas to be in compliance.

And less fun writing them.
