I think the part about rather big enforcement penalties made it easy for various consultants to scare companies and sadly also some individual developers.
I already had to fend off implementing some ridiculous features. I've pushed against misconceptions and use of non-existent terminology that's not even in the law. People are taking info from all kinds of sources, some of them sketchier than others, despite the existence of official EU guides, and the law itself.
But I bet it will be easy to comply for most non-adtech/tracking businesses. And as an internet user, I'm looking forward to better data exports, data removal and more transparency.
