Yes but they don't want no deal either. However it's not 'just as bad' for them. They're a much bigger bloc, with a much bigger economy, and have both each other and their existing trade deals whereas we'll have precisely zilch trade agreements.
Just before Brexit they'll complete the EU-Japan trade deal and become the biggest economic trading bloc in the world:

We need to be realistic about the cards we hold.
