Yeah, me too. I don’t collect stats on visitors anymore (using Google Analytics for example) because I now understand the privacy implications of doing so. I do use a simple impression counter but I capture no information (not IP, not browser, nothing). I definitely think about the CCPA and ADA laws, but I’m relatively sure they don’t apply to me. Still, I certainly think about them.

I personally use a self-hosted analytics app so I can still get some useful feedback without sharing my visitors’ data. I get pretty graphs, and my visitors get to keep their privacy.

I go as far as saying in the TOS that my sites are for users in the US.

Why? What would make you think this has any impact?

I don't think I understand the question.

If the EU wants an extra-territorial legal framework, why can’t a US website owner do the same in their TOS? That’s a perfectly legal thing to do in the US.

The knife cuts both ways.
