They'll just make legal carveouts for government and commercial use, and go after consumer-facing VPN providers that refuse to comply. For VPN providers based outside the US, they could delist their websites from DNS or block their IPs. They can't stop someone who's determined from finding a way, of course, but just a few simple barriers prevents most people from putting in the effort.

That many carveouts pretty much renders the entire thing pointless.

No, I'm trying to predict when their corporate overloads would tell them to sit the fuck down.
