That's a fair analogy! I do think having a service like stripe for pii would make things easier. Why would we need first name and email address? As programmer I only need user ID!

I don't think this would be sufficient in many cases. If you store any form of user-generated content, or even a recommendation model generated from a user's past behavior, I'm pretty sure that's also considered personally identifiable information under GDPR, and since it's part of your product, you can't just outsource handling of it. It gets even stickier if that data is intertwined with data from other users, as could be the case in machine learning models or used-generated collaborative projects.
