They could adapt. But what’s in it for them? Sure the U.K. foreign office can send a telex or whatever to the Spanish government objecting. But the U.K. has no levers to pull here. Spanish and EU citizens are being prioritised, seems fair enough as they can be processed more quickly.
The U.K. chooses to let EU passport holders use self-service machines. That’s their call.
Mind you - when the travelling party has split UK/EU passports the EU citizens get the booby prize of collecting the bags and dealing with children. Sunlit uplands indeed!
