These laws are complicated, and all it would take is a small mistake for a smaller competitor to end up with a legal battle they can scarcely afford and a potentially massive fine.
Meanwhile, Google supported the GDPR and they've been fined tens of millions of euros multiple times for violating it. But to them it's chump change. They'll gladly pay >€200 million (and they have) to keep competition out.
Republicans could have done this with a more favorable Congress and President, but that means actually doing stuff and not just political theater. I guess it will be fun watching them make excuses for not getting this stuff done when it's their turn to be the majority once more.

There's no proportionality to this system.
I don't know if they can't or simply don't even try
