What exactly is the risk to a hobbyist here?

Even if we assume a completely bizarre and pathologically incompetent regulator that somehow ends up zeroing in on some tiny website which exhibits no evidence of violation, the hobbyist might have to... delete their website?

Have you ever responded to a regulatory enquiry?

If you have then perhaps you could share your experience more explicitly. It would be helpful to clarify your point of view.
