It's not only your business model, but also the business model of all third-party services you are using on your site.
Also, part of the reason why it's not that hard is that the GDPR is pretty much one of a kind. Imagine the US and maybe some countries in Asia having similar but different implementations of privacy laws, and you having to work with them simultaneously. Or even different laws in each US state (CCPA?). Imagine every country requiring you to store user data only the user's country of origin, thus managing a separate database for each country.
