> GDPR still limits developer speed/freedom

Good!

This is like saying that prescription-drug regulations are limiting speed/freedom. When those things are dangerous to the user, they should be limited!

And I still don't agree that it slows anyone down. Want to launch a new feature quickly? No problem, go ahead and launch it. All you have to do is add an opt-in dialog at the beginning.

As far as freedom goes, we've seen the abuses of that freedom and it's time to limit it.
