Your latter point technically correct, but only because companies that lack a trading footprint in the EU are beyond sanction by the EU.

The EU claims jurisdiction, they just lack an effective enforcement mechanism for sites that do not have a financial nexus inside the EU. (Perversely, this creates an incentive to not create such a financial nexus, including hiring anyone inside the EU.)
