Triplebyte can be 100% fined by EU, there are such previous cases where HQ is out of EU but they are serving EU citizens.

GDPR is very clear in wording that it doesn’t matter whether company has offices in EU or not, only thing that matters is if company is providing services to EU citizens.

Triplebyte can just forward those fines to the circular file. There is no practical method of enforcement unless they have a physical EU presence.

That's not correct. You can pursue damages outside of your jurisdiction through a process called "domestication". Generally speaking US courts will enforce judgements from other countries with a legitimate legal system.

Sure, they "can." But has it ever happened with GDPR? My gut tells me they'll direct their efforts towards more critical matters.
