Finally somebody who makes a balanced commentary.
I fully agree and that's why yesterday I deleted 7 hobby projects -- all their databases and hosted apps, cancelled VPS subscriptions and never made any backups.
Never put ads, never put trackers, never sold anything to anyone. Hell, I just checked their VPS dashboard once a month, that was all.
Since I don't want to deal with the legal baggage I am doing my part in NOT contributing to the rampaging privacy abuses and simply destroyed anything goodwill that I created in the past that might have collected any shred of personal data.
Thus I am perfectly okay with my personal project being a collateral damage of the GDPR. I believe in the GDPR and want to see responsible private data usage.
