Note that since the issue is GDPR compliance, this should only be a problem for registrants who are natural persons. So if Whois data were only collected and published for corporations, there shouldn't be a problem.

I always felt uncomfortable having to submit my personal data, specifically: my address and phone number, and for it to be published like that (regarding domains where Whois protection services are not allowed). I can understand the motivation for this with regards to corporations and organizations, but what benefit is there with regards to natural persons?
