So shouldn't the website's intent to block you from accessing it matter?

That point was part of a general observation. When something 'matters', that doesn't mean there cam be other factors. In thi specific case I see no reason why the territorial scope would not extend to processors outside the EU when they monitor user behavior. Taking some limited technical measures to prevent access doesn't absolve them from the law to apply.
