Last week I looked at a couple of hosted data services whose free tier didn’t give access to a query log. This is pretty common for hobbyist projects.
This means this logging has to be implemented at the app layer.
The developer has to pay for log retention, which doesn’t come for free with several of the hobbyist-level hosting services that I’m familiar with.
I agree with your general point that there’s no significant technical challenges, at least for even a minimal dev team or a practitioner with time to put into this.
Maybe hobbyists shouldn’t be handling this data in the first place, or maybe this is an opportunity for GDPR-complaint SaaS to help them do so safely.
