How does this work for GDPR & CCPA like rule regimes?

Google Analytics, by default, is not CCPA compliant. You can take steps for stricter compliance with CCPA, such as: implementing IP anonymization, disabling data sharing, displaying a cookie consent banner on your site, reviewing PII collected and honoring user data access/deletion requests..etc. Anyways, it is too early for this service to dig into this legal stuff. I prefer to focus on building at this moment.

What prevents your service from making it into the ad blockers?

Why not do the following https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/tag-manager/serve...

The only way to really achieve this is running analytics through the same domain the users are visiting, best as a path. I suspect this is where the market will go if ad blockers become to pervasive

I could say that we do that at a high level, but as SaaS for our clients. You can't expect the average person to set up and manage 3 servers (HA) on GCP to get everything running.
