You miss the point. Many USA based companies happily comply with EU regulations and offer their services. Some do not, because they do not want to comply with the regulation, which specifically forbids generating revenue from user data. What you are complaining against is that some sites are built around selling user data and EU makes it hard to do so. The cost you are talking about is your inability to form certain contracts. Every regulation comes at certain cost. However, in this particular case the data protection and safeguards against selling of such data are the basis of regulation, not the consequence. GDPR is born to enforce this cost and this cost has been integral part of surrounding debate. It is not people who are not willing to talk about this cost, but rather data broker lobbyists, who try to sweep this cost (data protection) under the rug who do not want to talk about this cost. Every time someone makes a counterpoint against broad statements protecting data broker interests (e.g. personalized-ad supported websites cannot exist profitably), that is the debate you are looking for.
