And if they don't disclose, nothing happens anyway. Maybe a five figure "cost of doing business" slap on the wrist fine, not considering the amount of users affected. Enforcement is extremely selectiveand bureaucrats essentially operate on "if company in FAANG, take action, else do nothing" programming.

A minor problem with GDPR is enforcement.

At least in germany it feels like you need a very dedicated and persistent person to make the case against a company/service (bonus points if they get media attention). Other countries are a bit better but it generally is not very consistent.

The enforcement for most small to mid-sized companies is often just not present and resources for relevant agencies are often only reluctantly allocated. Ime, in government institutions it is generally not very respected as it "impedes progress".
