I'm very pro-privacy, but I think you made a valid point. Just adding my opinion as a voice.
If I understand your example correctly, you refer purely to the point of view of a citizen, not a company. In that case, I think you are right. It has drawbacks for those citizens that also benefit from it. This was considered when the regulation was created, and some balance resulted.
I think the basic problem is that GDPR is one of those "global" laws - everyone has to follow it, everywhere. This is similar to what the US has (effectively) been doing for a while, perhaps the reason why it became similar. Either way, I consider it as wrong. No law should go beyond a country's border, unless a separate agreement between countries was made. From my point of view, it would suffice to force European companies to not use any services by those who do not comply.
