This seems the norm for tech companies and more restrictive privacy policies. GDPR was originally announced in 2012, in 2016 it was adopted by the EC. After that member states had two years to adopt it into law, after which enforcement would start. Most companies didn't bother doing anything about it until 2018, and even today a lot of non-EU companies restrict or block access to EU customers, saying it's too hard to only use personal data for purposes they have been given permission for.
