Changing the law to suit "local entrepreneurs" is, politically, seen as the same thing as changing it to suit any other lobbyist. The software industry's interests are not seen as politically "cleaner" than those of any other industry.

Extending laws to apply to all in the market is not "favoring local entrepreneurs".

The parent comment used those exact words ("consulting with local entrepeneurs") as a reason not to implement GDPR. I was pointing out that this is did not convey the clean-and-efficient image they had in mind when framed that in opposition to lobbyists.
