Well, they might not want to. However, without a deal, and that is the main point here, there is no way regulatory alignment can be assured. There are agreements in force between the US and the EU to govern exactly those regulatory alignments in this sector, and of course with other big blocks as well, mainly the chinese. Without any deal there is no formal regulatory alignment and therefore there is no known status of the state of the UK aviation laws and rules and it has to be treated as such until a time where an enforceable agreement is in place.
The paper of the Royal Aeronautical Society is really eye opening and very very interesting indeed. It talks about those issues including a rough assessment of the required time frames and additional hiring required for the CAA alone (and every other agency governing an industry sector).
