I don't think that's disingenuous at all. Incidentally, most of the big tech companies are in the US. But there's some in Europe that are hit equally hard by this regulation. Examples: Booking.com (Dutch, but American owned, pays taxes primarily in the Netherlands): between 60 and 90 billion USD worth; Spotify (Swedish) purportedly worth 30ish billion USD. In other words: I really doubt that this is a targeted attack on the US/US companies. Finally, I think a lot of GDPR is at least as hard to implement for non tech companies as it is in tech/information type companies. The latter at least have lots of in house expertise in both tech and usually tech related law. It's just really expensive for them. More traditional companies that run some crazy IT system built by an outsourcer 20 years ago might have a bigger problem. Disclaimer and source: implemented several GDPR components when working at Booking.com.
