Why should someone be covered by the jurisdiction of their place of residence when they are elsewhere?

That seems a bit authoritarian to me.

Say you went to a place where child sex traffic was legal, or the laws not enforced. This is illegal in several EU countries and the US, and you can be prosecuted upon return:

For sure, but the GDPR only applies to interactions with EU residents while they are in the EU.

People on vacation away from the EU or emigrants are not covered.
