The GDPR limits your rights insofar. You may find that "overbearing", I find it okay. Your rights end where my rights begin. Where the line is, is debatable, of course.

Remember that the law came only because web site owners took things way too far. Pendulums swing both ways.

Well in that case I disagree where EU has drawn the line, so I'll just not serve EU customers (or if I do, it will not have a free option, only a pay option) and we'll both have all of our rights.

Exactly. Many US newspapers go that route already. I'm fine with that.
