No. I managed to comply with GDPR with 2 hours work on my eCommerce site.

That’s great for you, doesn’t mean companies want or need to comply. They’ve decided that it’s more worthwhile to block the EU instead of invest in complying with the GDPR. The EU knew this would happen.
Many of us don't complain about being blocked, we just poke fun at the ridiculously dishonest way they phrase it.
Please don’t bet the farm on having done that little bit of work. GDPR compliance is not something you can finish but instead you have to continually demonstrate. It involves hiring specialists and 8–14 week consultation delays before launching features.
It definitely doesn't. Nervous corporations may do that, but that's because they are nervous corporations.
