No, they clearly said "following GDPR for the whole world is not [good]." And so, why? When a country passes new safety standards for building cars, I'm sure car makers don't like that, but they still do it. And for models sold world-wide, they're often build the same (except local variances like steering wheel side, etc), so if you live in a country with less strict safety standards, you effectively still get the higher standard. GDPR should be implemented in most places. Why not extend that treatment to everybody? Less edge cases. It has nothing to do with the EU legislating "the world", just engineering pragmatism for a global world, and being user friendly.
