Cringe because... "Why bother?" and more so, "Why talk about it?"
If Google isn't in compliance, Google will get there... or appeal the ruling, or find some other way so that every user of GA doesn't have to migrate off it.
So I find it cringe because I see it as the tech equivalent of those people who rave about 5G making their COVID vaccines magnetic. It's just GA... use it, don't use it. But jumping to comply with a poorly written law, and saying like, "See this law that is poorly written deserves our respect!" Meh. It'll all get overturned. It's a poorly written law.
Plus there are plenty of places to go to "get your GA into compliance" without uninstalling GA.
