Funny how I have worked both as a developer and a business owner building applications for startups and established businesses alike and yet as both a consumer and a professional I'm glad to live under EU jurisdiction instead of the US because all those evil privacy protections and regulations mean I can have a reasonable expectation that companies can't just do what they want with the data I entrust them.

People like you love to complain about cookie banners but somehow fail to acknowledge that the reason cookie banners are a thing is that companies go out of their way to try and game the regulations instead of actually implementing them. Sure, you can't build the next Facebook in the EU but maybe not being able to build a business on intentionally abusing your users' trust is not a bad thing.

If you just want to get rich, there's still plenty of nigh-unregulated banking and speculative investment you can get involved in with narry a consequence. If you want to build software, I'm not very sorry you're inconvenienced by regulations that actually protect people from your overreach.
