I think much of this probably comes down to cultural and ideological differences between the US and the EU. It certainly seems that almost all of the rabidly pro-GDPR crowd is from the EU.
Interesting: I have a number of anti-GDPR comments here and on last night’s GDPR thread that got upvotes last night US-time, heavily downvoted throughout the night, and are now going back up :)
