It's the kind of childish, petty response that you'd expect from a 4 year old: "You can make me do it but you can't make me like it!"
Now they need to maintain all these "if isInEEA()" equivalent complexity all over their systems just so they can comply with the law as narrowly as possible.
It feels almost like these companies with their obnoxious cookie banners: "Let's make these things as terrible as possible so we can show everyone (including our users) how grumpy and mad the law makes us feel!"

There’s no pretending not to be an asshole. I’m fine with this and hope that this being the case catches up to the broader public because it will further the realization that companies must be adequately regulated.
