Perhaps pick a side and try sticking to it?
After enacting a set of EU specific rules, it feels a little entitled to expect that not only all foreign websites must follow them, but that they must also make their content available for free.

It's totally reasonable for me to negotiate with you on things you do that affect me. Same goes for regulatory bodies. GDPR is about data protection and the right to privacy. I won't argue with you if those things are a good idea, but you probably realise that saying that those aren't reasonable demands puts you in a minority.
Now, it makes sense for multinational corporations to have GDPR-related functionality since some of their assets are under EU jurisdiction and for them it's probably safer (if lazy) to do it across the board. But if you're not in the EU and you run a one-person SaaS app or something, you have zero reason to jump through any GDPR hurdles if you don't want to. The EU doesn't suddenly gain jurisdiction over your business processes because an EU citizen types your address into the URL bar.
