Wrt the laws benefiting incumbents with more resources: in this case I think it’s simple. If you don’t have the resources, just don’t collect the data! If your business model absolutely depends on it, then you should have the resources to do it correctly anyway, so the extra burden of this law shouldn’t be too much on top of that. This is definitely a simplified view, but I think it’s worth noting that following these regulations may actually be easier and cheaper than breaking them (which isn’t the case for, say, some finance and trade regulation).
