If a EU regulation was at fault, only systems in the EU should've been affected. There would be no reason to adhere to complicated EU rules everywhere else globally.

This doesn't add up. They need to find a more believable fall guy.

There would be no reason to adhere to complicated EU rules everywhere else globally.

But there are a ton of websites that do adhere to complicated GDPR rules even though they serve 99.99% US based clients.

I think this has nothing to do with EU and it's just some far fetched bullshit excuse from Microsoft.
