American companies are free to not do business within the EU. If they do, they must comply with the law. Same with USA, China, Russia, etc.

Yes but if the law was “Fuck You America Act: 5% of global revenue from US based companies goes to us because we can” then the US government might have opinions about that when it comes to trade negotiations.

The question is whether this law is closer to fuck you than it is reasonable regulation of bad behavior.
