The flip side is it's a better place to be a free citizen for the most part. You can ask companies for all the data they have on you and they are legally compelled to comply.

Respectfully, do you think that is perhaps a false sense of security? Government surveillance is ubiquitous and American companies are going to track you regardless.

In some sense I absolutely agree. There's a difference to be seen in requests for existing data and the realtime feeds we now know exist.
But I guess something could be considered better than nothing. Europeans definitely do have better legal access to correcting incorrect data for example.
