CCPA is certainly a headache at work and brought in consulting to assist but I hope it spreads beyond California and more! As a consumer I want to be able to opt out of any/all data collection related to my personal details. Fully support it regardless of the "costs" it brings to the company. Data should have been regulated from the get go.

Microsoft has stated they will honor CCPA nationwide. I would expect other tech companies to follow until national regulation catches up.

Many companies have adopted a one-size fits all approach, whereby the most restrictive legislation applies, regardless of jurisdiction where they do business. This reduces costs by minimizing duplication where possible. I suspect Microsoft's approach was likely driven in part by the additional costs needed to support two compliance regimes for their various products.
