That's simply not true.
That is a laughable case count compared to all the violations just everywhere.
If it would be enforced all of US BigTech would need to be outright banned from the EU until the US fixes its no-go issues like CLOUD Act or that secret FISA court.
That's the one part.
The other part is that also almost no domestic companies comply. More or less every business and all the country governments in the EU breach the GDPR in one or another way (for example by using US BigTech products behind the scenes as all governments do, or simply just collecting personal information without consent labeling it "legitimate interest" like almost every websites does).
All big German media outlets have for example right now a case in court for noncompliance with the GDPR. It will take years in court of course, and than nothing will happen, as every time before.
The same goes for things like "Privacy Shield v3.0" the EU Commission is working on. This new version is obviously illegal for the same reasons as it was the case for v1 and v2. But they don't care. The courts need many years to stop it again. Until then this illegal regulations that obviously violate the GDPR will stay in place.
