I'm pretty sure them dressing this as a possibility instead of fact is either a formality or wrong but I'm feeling not sure or british, so free to give your opinion.
The share of Britons who believe that leaving the EU was a mistake in hindsight rose to an all-time high in December 2020. However, as history shows, this doesn’t necessarily mean that they would vote to rejoin if given the chance.
Similarly, Deltapoll recently asked voters whether they regretted their vote in the EU 2016 referendum. They found that just over one in ten (13 per cent) of those who voted Leave felt regret, while just under one in ten (7 per cent) of those who voted Remain felt the same – a small difference, but a notable one.
Though subsamples are a risky metric, it’s also worth noting that the Deltapoll survey found that Labour Leavers were the most regretful by a significant margin.
It could be that, after four years of angst over the terms of the UK’s departure from the EU, voters simply want Brexit to go away.

What's happening is that the reality of leaving, and it's effects, is slowly sinking in. The UK media is predominantly right leaning and has been pumping out anti EU messaging for at least 40 years as a handy way of blaming our problems on other people and "systems we have no control over". "Unelected bureaucracrats in Brussels" was the warcry of the right for a long long time. This despite the fact that the UK was very influential in policy decisions and had very favourable membership terms compared to some others.
The media is losing the ability to convince a huge chunk of the population that the EU is a net negative to the UK and progress, and it's becoming apparent that Brexit is a case of "the Emperor's new clothes".
Now that the shield of blaming the EU for all our ills is gone people are slowly waking up to what's been willingly given up.
I have no doubt they will frame every downside to Brexit as a spiteful retaliation from the EU, instead of the obvious and predictable outcome of their decisions.

Brexit seems like such a gut punch for young people in the UK. Being able to work and travel anywhere in the EU with no restrictions(?) would be an amazing privilege, particularity if you're young...

Another example of how people feel (whether real or manufactured) can be more important than the reality of what's happening.

Not just young people. It was so good being able to decide on Thursday that you were going to take a train or flight to Paris or Prague or Madrid for the weekend and be back in time for work on Monday. No need for visas or anything beyond buying a ticket and going.

This is already how things are being framed, sadly. It was completely predictable though that it would be.
