Turkey, Switzerland, and/or even russia (pre-Ukraine war) are part of the EU Customs Union that the UK chose to stay out of.

not switzerland, and I have no idea why you think Russia was ever part of the EU customs union.

But the point is that staying out of the customs union was not an "inevitabile result of leaving the EU", it was a choice separated from it.
