This is a completely different matter with entirely different goals and implications. GDPR takes the hardest stance on what is and is not personal data for the sake of consumer protection. If a company had the IP of this couple they could link their online activity (most of which is their own) with their name, that's sufficient to spy on them.
If you'd eaten chips this morning and there was a database of chip-eaters, eating chips would be considered personal information.
It's tiring to see these uninformed hot takes on GDPR on completely unrelated subjects.

If "most" of their online activity is their own, then some of it coming from "their" IP address isn't. You can pretend to be able to identify a person behind an IP address, but that doesn't make it true.
