Once you've complied, why not apply it to every user?

I've always wondered that about GDPR compliance. Once your company has gone through all the effort and expense to comply with GDPR, why take on the additional expense and complexity trying to conditionally apply all this new business logic only to EU people? Wouldn't it be simpler to just use your GDPR-compliant business logic for everyone? Why maintain EU and non-EU silos?

Sometimes it's not possible, just look at the CloudAct. It's incompatible with GDPR and still they try it with useless agreements like Privacy Shield and Safe Harbor.

It's like squaring the circle.
