Last time I checked membership in the EU is voluntary. Why should there be punishment?

If you are a subscription-paying member of a country club and you renounce your membership, do you expect to use their facilities for free thereafter? No. You will pay a fair price - if they choose to allow you onto the property in the first place.

It's not necessarily punitive (although it could be), but they will unlikely receive similar negotiating advantages as they did before.
