I attribute it to European jealously over american tech success. Hi tech success that flies in the face of their supposed social, cultural and moral superiority.
User tracking is not really why we don't have nice things, look at the success of moviepass even after they publicly admitted what they were tracking. People want part of the spoils which is exactly the purpose of GDPR.
Isn't Moviepass hæmmoraging $20 million a day while its share price tanks?
No, if you knew how Europeans think, you'd realise that this is really just about securing privacy. Most of the regulators are really focussed on ensuring compliance, not levying fines.
They are losing money because they have an unsustainable pricing model. Other cinema services were saying Movie pass would fail as soon as they started.

The EU isn't the US. This kind of misplaced pride is not a part of the culture in most of Europe.
