"I don't use american companies for business unless they are fully GDPR compliant. 95%+ arn't, so i don't use them."

Thats good, that is the way to do things by choice. If enough people feel the additional weight of regulation is worth it then they will do business with compliant companies, otherwise they will go to the others assuming the savings are passed on to the customer. The EU could end up improving security standards around the world. They could end up pricing themselves out of the market. it will be interesting to see.
