There still seems to be a bit of a mindset displayed by some that the European airlines (LoCos and others) are only interested in flights to/from the U.K. and that that is the only market they need to protect. It may surprise some to know that there is a rather large amount of air travel performed between the other EU nations.
Yes people are aware of the importance of internal EU routes but the UK is also extremely important to them and both the biggest LCCs have their biggest bases here. UK to the EU is an extremely large and lucrative market which if denied access to would hurt all the major airlines in Europe some more than others.
