In Spain the fines are like 60k for data protection violations, no matter how small you are, and if you’re self employed, you can’t declare bankruptcy and you have to pay the fine with your own personal assets.

Sounds like a great reason to never start a company in Spain, ever.

why would anyone risk starting a business in such an environment?

  This is self employment only where your company assets == your assets. You can make an LLC and this isn't a problem.

    An LLC will cost you much more money. It’s a great pay cut.

Perfect recipe to discourage individuals from innovating. I'm all for holding actual companies with user bases and counsel and insurance and a business model and etc accountable. But "private party just getting started with a bespoke solution was a bit careless or ignorant; luckily no serious harm was caused" should never be financially ruinous.
