It is not a $million fine: https://www.gdpreu.org/compliance/fines-and-penalties/

And in food or construction if you willfully break the law then that can be criminal and you will face severe fines and/or jail. It's all about your intent.

GDPR isn’t concerned about intent at all — which is why it is a well-meaning, but horribly written law.

it absolutely is, see as an example Art 83, "General conditions for imposing administrative fines" which has at point b "the intentional or negligent character of the infringement".
