The problem I have with saying this is a threat is that a best the threat of a lawsuit is at best hypothetical--if and only if some response is required by that law, and that response is not given, then you could see it as a threat. And most people writing that would have no reason or resources to dedicate to some frivolous lawsuit as a result. Obviously no one would sue for getting a response a couple days late, it would take at least months for it to be remotely worth it. I wouldn't be surprised if most boilerplate CCPA request templates out there included the same wording. It's like when I send a FOIA request and put at the bottom, "this law says you are supposed to respond in X days," everybody knows that's the law already its just there to sound a bit more formal and like I actually care about the outcome. Obviously there is not going to be time or money for the vast majority of such technical violations to go to court. Would a study not be able to send out FOIA requests and study how long the responses took after including that verbiage because it's a "legal threat"?
