I agree with your logic.
However your valid logic is contrary to my understanding.
I've seen reference to too many entities that don't have a presence in the EU
that are doing things like blocking EU access to websites specifically
because of GDPR.
I don't have details on /how/ GDPR applies or /why/ people in the US are
running scared of it. But I've seen many references to people doing exactly
that.
Based on what I've read, the only possible way the GDPR could apply to a
US company (with no EU physical presence) is if you're selling or
marketing directly to EU citizens. For the sites and "services" I
provide, the EU is invited to see Figure One. ;)
