How could those possibly solve the problem? They won't remove the cost of complying with GDPR.

One big problem with tech regulation right now, particular that which involves the internet, is that the old farts making the rules are barely skilled enough to send emails. Not only do they have no concept of how they're ruining things, but they don't have to suffer the consequences.
Imagine if every time they changed the channel on their TV, they had to stop and drive a cursor to _somewhere_ on the screen to find the correct button to press to get past the popup and watch the channel they were hoping to watch.
In summary, economics is hard. But making something (internet/web) increasingly unusable is just pure ignorance.
Oh, definitely! Those in power don't understand that much of economics, and those voting don't really understand that much of technology.
