This is one of the best provisions in GDPR, in my opinion. If someone opts out of data collection, you still have to provide them the service unless the data collection is absolutely necessary to providing the service. It's not an all-or-nothing like most EULAs tend to be, you can opt out of non-essential parts of the agreement.

Which unfortunately many companies don't comply with. See: http://gdprhallofshame.com/

Hopefully we'll start seeing a wave of enforcement actions against these companies soon, too.

Unless EU (with the help of GDPR) starts enforcing DNS nodes with ENDS0 Client Subnet extensions (as many endpoints send the subnet of /32 for IPv4 or /128 for IPv6 enabling unprecedented amount of tracking), the whole thing is simply a selective enforcement tool that will be used to punish those the EU does not agree with.

Every law is subject to selective enforcement. Should we stop making laws at all?

...yes?

I mean, I've certainly heard worse ideas than "stop making laws."
