There was a lot of commotion about 2018 GDPR but it turned out to be rather uneventful, some basic practices have been adopted, very few companies were fined a small amount and the question is largely settled. For small companies and individual devs, pretty much nothing changed apart from adding a boilerplate ToS and PP to their projects.

I would expect this this legislative change to follow a similar path. If you run a business, liability is a big concern from the start and this extension of the liability scope seems reasonable overall. I'd say they even tread lightly here as "damages for professional use are explicitly excluded".
