Doesn't seem true on the ground. There isn't even many consultancy opportunities getting companies GDPR-ready. 99.99% of companies are managing just fine getting someone to skim the rules and make some guidelines to put with all the other guidelines and internal docs they already have in a big binder.

Its only the end-user-is-product companies that have to have armies of lawyers, and that is no bad thing surely?

Note that you're on a site pretty much dedicated to the ongoing viability of end-user-is-product companies, hence the backlash here. My experience, same as yours, is that anyone who provides a service for money isn't having any difficulty at all complying with the GDPR.
