Google has so far only received a 50M euro fine from France, and a tiny one from one of the other countries. Depending who you ask, there are different stories for why Google hasn't suffered larger fines. One story is that the law is toothless and we need something stronger. Another story is that enforcement in complex situations takes time, and we'll see bigger Google fines down the line. And then the final story is that Google is actually complying with the law.

AFAIK Google has gone to great pains to attempt to comply, at least within the advertising and analytics space. I've seen significant product updates in Google Ad Manager, Google Analytics, AMP, BigQuery, etc to allow for consent, right of removal, designating a DPO and more.
