Why do law firms believe GDPR is a legal issue? Privacy and Security have not been an entirely legal issue, though legal representation is often in the mix when dealing with regulations. I'm curious why GDPR continues to be treated as a legal problem when the regulation is more than clear on its intent and requirements?

Because a lot of detailed questions are not obviously more than clear, especially if you have an interest in not just taking the strictest possible reading, and thus people want legal opinions on that. And where those legal opinions strongly disagree, there'll be legal proceedings to have the courts clarify those.
Fair. I guess it's far more pressing for the Data Controllers versus Processors (my case), so I'll stop with my biased view.
