It's more about not being able to sell as easily as now, from the UK to the EU, which has a population of 443m.
It's yet another headwind for smaller UK companies, that will see their potential serviceable available market (SAM) get smaller, unless they spend extra. This will also significantly increase the time for the goods to arrive to EU destinations.
You calling this "americentric" is also weird. It's going to be the same situation for all other e-commerce sites, no?

In the UK, Amazon had >30% of all e-commerce marketshare in 2019. I've seen the huge volumes of Amazon packages that get delivered to my building. Especially during the pandemic lockdown!

Around 35% in Germany, comparable to the US. Couldn't find any statistics for the entire EU, where did you get <10% from?

Amazon in Europe is small, having <10% of the e-commerce marketshare (compared to >50% in the US). For example, in the Netherlands people are much more likely to shop at Bol, Coolblue or Wehkamp.
