Why not prevent personal data from leaking in first place? It's a solution applied at the wrong level, a or wrongly drawn system boundary if you will. The damage it causes is psychological, preventing many EU businesses from starting in first place. They're destroying the food chain for startups (small independent businesses).

The EU and politcians are anti UX, they have no clue about the effect of their laws on people.

"The first place" would be not collecting it, an option that companies are seriously considering for nonessential data that they previously collected merely because it was convenient and accepted to do so.
