I don't think you're in opposition - the argument being, what's going to happen to the location of those services if they're held to ransom by new data transfer fees?
Move them to another jurisdiction without them.
Investment into the EU (in the form of datacenters, locating jobs to prove the work is done there, and the transit costs in the new location).
That being said, the cynic in me agrees that broadly you're right, and whatever the companies do to mitigate the effects of it by moving hosting/transfer elsewhere, they'll use this as an excuse to jack the prices up regardless.
