It's a variation on "Premature Optimization Is the Root of All Evil". Focus on what actually matters for your startup. If for some reason some EU regulator actually comes knocking, you're most likely big enough to mean you've created a successful startup.

Then you just say "Sorry!" and you implement what they want.

This is probably different if your company is in the EU, but this is my North American point of view.

It's par for the course with HN libertarian virtue signaling
