This is very accurate. I always describe fines as "bimodal" in how they're considered by companies

a) big enough that they could significantly damage a company's bottom line b) small enough that they are considered to be "the cost of doing business" and factored into the risk of a decision just like supply chain issues, SLA violations, or delivery date violations (e.g. having to pay when one doesn't deliver a product on time)

Only fines in category a) actually work. I really wish countries would issue more of these types of fines
