as a way to coerce the UK government into changing course or are you suggesting it as some sort of punishment... i don't quite get what you mean by "solution"
Presumably to comply with the law in an expedient fashion.
Sometimes, when the law, your code of ethics and/or the license(s) you are operating under conflict, your best/only option under those given circumstances might be to not operate at all
.
In my case it is to prevent UK lawsuits or at least being able to show in court that everything was done to comply with UK laws. The products I'm working on use end-to-end encryption and I cannot afford to remove that feature just because one country doesn't allow it.
I would love to offer them to UK citizens, of course.

Lots of US sites geo blocked EU countries as we were not their main audience and it saved them the effort of complying with gdpr.
