The grace period for the GDPR started in 2016 when it was adopted. Everyone had over 2 years to read and implement the GDPR.

All those concerns about the GDPR are, as far as I can tell, younger than a year, most of them even younger than a few months.

You had two years grace period.

The ICO has a tiny staff and is already underfunded. The grace period is a pragmatic one not one enshrined in law!

Except the lazy morons running the privacy orgs couldn't be arsed to give us final guidance until, well, mid April. And that definitely includes the ICO. I mean, I understand it's a lot to expect to have final guidance on running a balancing test more than a month before the deadline, but I guess grace periods are just for the regulators.
