They're a US entity operating under US law. If you are in the US, US law is what applies, not EU law.

They also don't have European operations, so it's not like the EU has any means to compel them to act even if it wanted to.

You'd certainly be laughed out of a US courtroom (rightfully) if you are trying to force a domestic business to comply with arbitrary foreign regulations in a country they have no involvement with.

It's worth noting that the important part here is the "have no involvement with" part, which the geographical blocking helps establish.

A US entity operating under US law with no physical presence in a foreign jurisdiction but actively courting business with citizens in that foreign jurisdiction has to be a lot more careful. For example, if one of their foreign customers sues them in a foreign court, wins, and gets a damages award there is a decent chance in many states that the US court would recognize and enforce that judgement.
