I'm in this camp, and to respond to your counterargument:
No one is forcing anyone to use anything... except healthcare, health insurance, car insurance, etc. And in many cases, while you may not be forced to use a tool, not using it puts you at an extreme competitive disadvantage. People shouldn't have to choose between being able to compete and valuing their privacy.
I'm fully on board with acknowledging that complying with GDPR has a pretty high cost, but the flipside of that is that if companies had done the right thing to begin with, a) the cost wouldn't be so high, and b) we wouldn't need this law.
