Or, alternatively, just don't do business where it would put you under the jurisdiction of the GDPR. That's what a lot of companies are doing, and there seems to be a lot of resentment over it.

There isn't a law banning the use of Electron instead of learning how to build desktop applications properly, and there's a lot of resentment over people doing that too.

Yeah, and that resentment makes no sense to me either. In both cases it's simply people doing what, in their estimation, makes the best use of their available resources.
