It's never been about the $$, it's always been about identifying the responsible party.
Which is why I am always surprised, that some providers choose NOT to offer 'rwhois' that shows the responsible party, and when they started using the IP Address.
Using GDPR as an excuse not to allow customers transparency when they want it, is just dumb.. This would allow that responsible party who happens to 'live' in a dangerous neighbourhood, still operate responsibly.
IMHO, if your hosting provider won't provide you with either SWIP or 'rwhois', move to a provider that will.
( and yes, it may cost you a few pennies more, you get what you pay for, but it costs WAY more to deal with a reputation problem, than to prevent it in the first place )
