So much this. You have a business with an online B2C component and your contract with your suppliers and/or service providers requires you to comply with the GDPR. You are in no position to comply because your primary area of business isn't the EU, sure your website is accessible but no one is realistically going to engage your services from Germany. Meanwhile the GDPR has extra territorial reach and is so broadly worded that you don't know the ways in which you will be impacted. Your legal counsel is telling you "they ain't budging, why not manage it practically, by explicitly not target the EU?"
So you block access to your goods/services/website to EU IP addresses. Your suppliers and service providers are happy, your legal counsel is happy, and your business is not impacted in any meaningful way at all.
I haven't looked at the sites on the list, which may well contain "shady" websites, but bear in mind that these are the entities who have looked at the GDPR and concluded it was somehow or other better to expressly tell visitors that they do not comply with the GDPR.
A shady business wouldn't even bother putting a notice up on their website!
