Because that's how laws work, they apply to everyone.
Then again what you say is a misrepresentation and biased idea, what proof do you have that GDPR will disproportionately impact small organizations ?
Have you read the actual annoucement posted here ? asking because it does not say that it is shutting down but that it is moving its community discussion from a self hosted discourse forum to a third party hosted subreddit because discourse lacks the ability to properly address GDPR request and lack of time to do so.
Of course GDPR also applies to FB, Google, etc. Have you followed the discussions 5 years ago when GDPR was in the making and witnessed the intense lobbying from silicon valley against strong protection ? Probably not.
Are you aware of the noyb.eu[1] initiative, Max Schrems again, currently targeting google, facebook, whatsapp and instagram for their "forced consent" (more to come) ? La Quadrature du Net a french internet rights organization is currently working on 12 class actions targeting google, facebook, amazon, apple and microsoft, etc.
