This is not correct. Since gdpr isn't required in most of the world, they don't want to comply. It's not about making users hate them. It's about collecting data, and simply complying with gdpr where they have to, and only where they have to.

It's not about making users hate them. It's about collecting data,

Making users hate GDPR and revolting against it is a means to that end though, of collecting data.
