Is EU data regulations a blocker for innovations?

That IT is lagging behind in Germany is something that is known, but it affects more corporations in adopting new innovations. For example, I know many companies couldn't yet make a decision about ChatGPT because of GDPR concerns. As a normal user, I haven't felt much limitations in using new products and technologies in Germany.
