They, and other DPAs have multiple decades of history of doing it this way. I trust that more than random people on the internet deciding that GDPR is bad because the DPAs theoretically could do it.

We have plenty of cases serving as prior judgements, and if a DPA suddenly act with a disproportional reaction, there is multiple levels of courts that can and will reverse the decision - nationally and EU level as well.
