Inertia can be overcome - some random situation might do it and then the pull the other way would be unstoppable.

Sure, but usually inertia doesn't get undone by some incrementally different alternative, but by something qualitatively different.

The UK and EU have roughly similar problems, benefits, infrastructure and regulatory environments.

If there was a Singapore-like city state off of the coast of France, I'm sure things would look different.
