But the GDPR is not clear -- I gave two examples from the linked article to support my point.

The same thing is true across the GDPR... I'm more familiar with the academic literature around whether there is a "right to an explanation" for AI systems embedded in the GDPR, for example. There are dozens of academic papers arguing both sides of that specific question, with no clear conclusion or consensus.

Your mistake is that you belive that (1) the law is not clear and (2) these poor companies end up with these crazy solutions because the law is unclear.

The thing is that the _intent_ of the law is very clear. You could search for loopholes and come up with all kinds of creative solutions to go around it, but then you can't pretend it is a decision you made in good fate.
