I think there's also a lot of bot-detection-as-a-service around here that can be used by sites smaller than Google and Facebook, like WhiteOps or IAS anti-fraud.

These are highly questionable under GDPR, many of them rely on tracking users wherever they go (e.g. Recaptcha is known for this).

How many fines has GDPR resulted in?

Not many yet, general consensus is to first warn and get companies to implement better compliance - only those who really openly shit on GDPR get the fines.
It's not very hard to get something that would be too hard for almost every website beside Google and Facebook to bother with. If it's a 1 on a 0-9 scale in difficulty, most websites just don't have the resources to detect it
It took me like ~3 hours to write it, but I guarantee it would take months for someone to detect it, and even then, they'd have a lot of false positives and negatives.
