The timing of this (shutdown on 21 May) made me wonder if it's related to the GDPR coming into effect starting on 25 May.

It may well but, but everybody knew that GDPR was coming. If this was the reason, why not announce it (much) earlier?

At first, I immediately discounted it as just plain coincidence. But actually, it could well have been.

I imagine the service wasn't really making money, and to add GDPR compliance on top, could have been the last straw (or a contributing factor)

I am thinking that it sets them up to announce something (possibly fully embracing K8s) at DockerCon[0] which is a few weeks after.
