When regulations become sufficiently burueacrafied it's extremely easy to accidentally violate them doing completely normal things. As a really random example, in California when you operate a foodcart it's not enough to just keep your area and wares in sanitary condition, instead you need a dish washing bin of a minimum of exactly 'x' inches 10.5 IIRC.
A guy who was just ensuring he was preparing clean healthy food, keeping everything sanitary and all that might assume he was naturally obeying all regulations. But that assumption can cost one a big fat fine (leading to fun scenarios like a food cart vendor needing a compliance legal team), and given Musk's relationship with the EU - they'd love to crucify him him on any possible technicality they can find.
Right, that's true I suppose. But also, if you don't have a car for example, you don't need to think about the laws of how to legally drive a car, since it doesn't apply to you.
Similarly, if you don't collect nor process any personal data whatsoever, directives like GDPR doesn't even apply to you, so there isn't really any way (easy or hard) to "crucify" someone on violating that.
