How about adding third-party analytics integrations that compromise your visitors, tracks them around the web, and fail to protect that data properly as the analytics company gets acquired by another entity?
Stop saving PII for profit/exploitation reasons and you're in the clear.

Well for one, they ignored users and the authorities asking them to stop their illegal data collection. No company is getting "killed" or even fined at all when they are not actively refusing to get compliant.
If it's "killing a few companies" and "a startup doesn't end up seeing the light" then "GDPR is doing what I'd like it to do."
That's a pretty shitty opinion to hold.
What did those companies and startups do wrong? I'm as tired of stupid startups as the next person, but I won't cheer for their failure unless they actually do something wrong.
