Fair enough, although how is this different from other laws? If laws were obvious, there'd be no lawyers or judges.
And if you've tried to comply with the law, but unintentionally fail to handle some edge-case with low impact, the sanctions are pretty light (e.g. a warning letter). It's not draconian, as long as you don't cut corners.

This is one of the first that is both a significant increase in regulatory burden and that deals with, ostensibly, the global tech market. Also, the fines here can be real money, which also isn't often the case. That plus the lack of clarity are why people are concerned about it. Basically they're worried that you can do everything right and still be wrong because everything isn't well defined and is very difficult to define.
