Why can't I ignore it? I have european customers but they chose to sign up with a business in a foreign jurisdiction where their laws don't apply. If it's a problem, the EU can feel free to block my sites, but I can't see how it's negligent to not comply with laws that don't apply in my country.

I don't comply with laws from many other jurisdictions either. Should I start applying censorship laws for China and Saudi Arabia too? Why should the EU be special?

I answered your question the first time. The answer is no. If you really had to ask this, just google "does gdpr apply to non eu companies?"
