An operation as large as Wordpress.com or .org should be GDPR compliant. I don't see any cry for sympathy here but more that OP is holding someone to a baseline standard expected of entities operating in Europe.
If it isn't a cry for sympathy, it is almost certainly a bitter attempt to cause grief in revenge. I'm definitely thinking the latter rather than the former.
But neither of those things are mutually exclusive with each other or holding a company to account to relevant standards. It isn't wrong to hold them to the standard, of course, but to claim that is only what is happening would be rather disingenuous (unless the author has a track record of defending people against transgressions of those standards when they themselves do not have something petty to be petty about in return).
