The concept is still worryingly dangerous given the precedent of "Can't move data outside our jurisdiction" could easily be applied to limit security and ensure snooping instead of preventing it. Given the usual habits and hypocrisies trusting them as far as you can throw them remains wise.

Sure, but even now they're not saying "Can't move data outside our jurisdiction". They're just saying "if you move data outside our jurisdiction, you must put in place suitable safeguards to protect our residents' privacy - and this requirement is currently impossible to meet in the US". There are enough third countries worldwide where the laws would allow, for instance, the Standard Contractual Clauses plus suitable due diligence in practice by the parties concerned to make legal transfers outside of the EU.
