I've heard this line so many times, but there are vanishingly few examples of companies that really suffered for it ("just don't sell in Europe" implies, to me, that Europe wasn't valuable enough to you as a market to take the time engineering GDPR compliance--and that's just fine). The ones that did crash overwhelmingly seemed to be sketchy data brokers.

I think a bunch of them took the "if audited we will probably be screwed unless the enforcing body takes leniency on us" and just kept on going. It opens up everyone to another huge liability but that's business. DPOs only have so many staff to investigate complaints.
