But if your JavaScript is inserted into your customers site, then the initial request that loads their site the first time + your script will be logged on their servers just like any other HTTP request.

And if your site loads their Javascript to block anyone from the EU from visiting, then it's clear that you're not targeting customers in the EU.
You're still gathering the data on every request. And since all requests go to the site anyway (to load the JS) you might as well just put a text saying, "nothing to see here for EU citizens"—that'd be a lot cheaper than buying this silly service and it would send the same signal.
This service isn't blocking requests to your site, it's just showing the visitors different content after the fact.
