Fucking multinationals, esp. US tech, expect to get the same treatment as they do in the most unregulated countries, local law be damned. They're not stupid, they're doing this on purpose. Fines + legal costs always smaller than (potential) profits. The only gamble is taking it to court eventually, and I suspect they think it's a safe gamble.
