The UK government has been quite repressive against its own citizens lately, so I would not expect them to treat foreigners any better. I had been planning to move to the UK before last December's deadline for getting the pre-settled status, but the "snitch on your neighbour" campaign during lockdowns convinced me otherwise.

You should be very glad you did not move to the UK. The Home Office has a backlog of 320,000 unprocessed applications for residency status, according to a recent Guardian article. [1] These people will be in legal limbo with no right to remain in the UK after June 30th if the backlog is not cleared.
