>I am located in Germany, but if I would start a SAAS site today, I wouldn't try to sell to the EU. Just isn't worth the trouble.

If you're located in Germany then the GDPR applies irrespective of where your users are. It applies because you - as a data controller or processor - are in the EU.

You would have to be established outside of the EU in addition to not targeting EU users in order to not be bound by the GDPR.
