A major goal of GDPR was to streamline enforcement and reduce compliance cost. Then people thought they could use Ireland to just avoid it, and instead they now have to worry about 27 DPAs, so it utterly backfired. Same dynamic in USA: they blocked national level privacy laws for decades and now they’ll have to deal with 50 state laws instead, which is much more onerous.

The bounds of enforcement will be much more clear and the US has a much clearer way of dealing with vagueness in laws in general. Despite assurances, US companies do not like the “the statute documents the intent but not all of the specifics” approach the EU uses.
