If you send some test requests to any big company including Google I believe you'll see they're using IPgeo.

Do you think my interpretation of Google not having long-term user-profiles of non-logged in users due to GDPR is correct? I read that Google has rolled out their GDPR compliance worldwide.

Simply using an IPGeo service doesn't mean they're not handling the GDPR compliance differently.
