On paper that's not correct. In practice, what you're saying is likely sometimes true, but I have yet to encounter it. Smaller sites generally have people on hand and are still human enough that they will at least try to accomodate you manually if needs be. And if they're being annoying with you, and you are pretty explicit about the nature of your request, specific about your rights under GDPR, etc they'll either get scared enough to do it, or figure you're not worth the trouble and do it so you stop complaining. Really the most annoying services I've dealt with GDPR-wise are in fact large corps with EU presence (sometimes EU-only!), that just don't have enough human elements in their chain to talk to you like a person. And this is something where it's very comforting to know you do wield a lot of legal power to rectify these issues.
